Interview: a'driane nieves, 'A Time for Furious Dancing'

A Time for Furious Dancing features recent work by self-taught artist a’driane nieves, whose abstract compositions explore trauma’s impact on identity and behavior. Drawing from memory and emotion, her art confronts pain and reclaims joy through a deeply personal visual language. The exhibition title references Hard Times Require Furious Dancing by Alice Walker, a poetry collection on resilience and joy. This marks nieves’ first solo museum show in the U.S.
