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.

Friday, July 17, 2026  ·  6 – 10 PM ET
Saturday, July 18, 2026  ·  12 – 8 PM ET
Seven House Gallery
35 Meadow St, Brooklyn, NY

This is more than an exhibition.
It is a living archive of memory, identity, and imagination — rooted in the question:

"What if the Muses
have always been us?"
