The Soular Lab

is the blog + laboratory of Arial Robinson.

created to produce physical artworks and facilitate conversations that inspire and educate black creators.

specializing in print + physical + musical matter.

Founded on the principles of exploration, documentation and reflection. Where creativity roams within no boundaries and authentic stories are the force behind each project, no matter the medium. Collaboration is invited and self-consideration is encouraged. Black experiences are just as impactful as they are imaginative. A New World Laboratory powered by the sun.
