'i made the cornrows: portraits of Black Nebraskans'

Kiechel Fine Art presents a solo exhibition by Katharen Wiese.

The history of Black art in America is a history of re-appropriation, protest, and infiltration: a history Kat Wiese is proud to be actively responding to and contributing to, as she navigates her own identity as a multiracial Black woman. Kat Wiese’s first major solo exhibition, i made the cornrows, is an investigation of intersectional identities among African diasporic Nebraskans. Through multimedia paintings and prints generated in response to interviews and cooperative photoshoots, sitters are both seen and heard. The works honor the specificity of individual experiences by rendering acutely detailed figures, while undermining their realism with spaces emphasizing intangible or invisible realities. The exhibition includes a catalog and interactive audio experiences that bring the voices of the subjects to life.
