Curated by Bridget R. Cooks—independent curator, scholar, and professor of African American studies and art history at the University of California, Irvine—the exhibition centers Hodges’s signature approach to memory, community, and the theater of everyday life. Known for his luminous pastel and acrylic compositions developed against deep black grounds, Hodges captures figures engaged in quiet rituals, athletic movement, and shared domestic intimacy. His canvases draw on the atmospheric weight and dramatic grandeur of Old Master traditions while remaining grounded in contemporary Black lived experience.

*A Theater of Miracles* forms part of an expansive, city-wide three-venue presentation across Los Angeles that traces Hodges's ongoing engagement with performance, memory, and interiority. The trio includes *A Theater of Dreams*, co-presented by CAAM and Art + Practice as part of their five-year collaborative partnership, and *Reggie Burrows Hodges: A Theater of Passions* at the Getty Center. Together, the exhibitions offer an unprecedented exploration of Hodges's evolving practice and his profound meditation on presence, light, and the passage of time.
