Guests were invited to an extraordinary evening of artistic exploration at Night Vision: A Look Through The Eyes Of Afrocentric Keyy, held in person on Saturday, January 27, 2024, at 5:00 PM (Eastern Standard Time).

For one night only, Afrocentric Keyy welcomed attendees into her creative mind through her solo exhibition, Night Vision: A Look Through The Eyes of Afrocentric Keyy. Eyes are the windows to the soul, and on this night, visitors found themselves peering through the artist’s unique perspective. It was a magical opportunity to witness the subjects that captured Afrocentric Keyy’s gaze and echoed through her spirit to give life to this illustrious collection of works.

The pieces presented were all portraits of Black heroes and heroines, brought to life on wood panels. Each figure stood in quiet regality—radiating our innate grandeur and vitality—while the natural grain of the wood served as a grounding backdrop. The warmth of the wood tethered us to our roots, while the vivid colors of the subjects left a lasting imprint on the viewer’s mind. The purpose of the show was clear: to celebrate the natural beauty of Black people across the diaspora and to reflect that beauty back to each person in attendance.

Inspiring confidence and self-curiosity, the exhibition reminded guests to seek beauty in themselves, their communities, and their cultures—despite societal forces that often tell them otherwise. Night Vision: A Look Through The Eyes of Afrocentric Keyy called on viewers to see themselves as whole, untainted by others’ expectations, and to recognize the radiant light they carry within. It was a night of magnificent cadence and powerful reminders—honoring those deserving of immortality through the brush of this artist.
