Garden of the
Nine Muses
Step into a two-day immersive experience in Contemporary Afro-Realism — and leave feeling seen. Inspired. Creatively refreshed.
This garden is ancestral. This archive is living. Nine figures. Nine archetypes. One reckoning with what we have always known — oil on reclaimed wood, spanning African, Caribbean, and Black American diasporic memory.

35 Meadow St, Brooklyn, NY
This is more than an exhibition.

"What if the Muses
have always been us?"
