"From ball courts to Chase Center, Adia Millett captures the visual jazz of interconnectedness" - 48hills profiles Adia Millett in artist spotlight.
As Mary Corbin writes: "Artist Adia Millett works across multiple media to explore the conceptual significance of interconnection. She describes her practice as grounded, fluid, and discerning, engaging a wide range of materials and subject matter. Whether working in fabric, glass, sculpture, painting, or on large-scale commissions, Millett accesses movement and meaning through bold geometrics and vibrant color to tell stories of cultural diversity and belonging."
The article highlights Millett's large-scale textile and mural installations, including You Are the Light the World at the Bishop O'Dowd High School, Oakland (2023), and Taking Flight at Lowell Park, Oakland, in collaboration with Project Blackboard (2023), amongst others.
Millett shares: "Our cultures are linked. The ability to have empathy is where beauty lies,” Millett said. “Using materials that hold history and emotion, I invite viewers to imagine fictional stories infused with truth."
