✨ OPENING NIGHT OF NU AFRICANS ✨
What an incredible night at Hammonds House Museum!
The opening of NU AFRICANS, featuring the work of Maurice Evans and Grace Kisa, was a huge success. Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate the artists, the work, and the community that continues to make Hammonds House Museum such a special place.
NU AFRICANS centers women—presented in striking silver and gold as goddesses, warriors, mothers, queens, and superhuman beings. Through photography, costume, painting, and visual storytelling, the exhibition celebrates strength, beauty, ancestry, identity, and the many ways Black women carry and embody power.
The exhibition brings together new work alongside earlier works that many audiences never had the opportunity to experience after the artists’ previous exhibition was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, these works have a new opportunity to be seen, experienced, and celebrated.
If you missed opening night, the exhibition is just getting started.
✨ NU AFRICANS is now on view through December 13.
Come by this weekend and experience the exhibition for yourself.
🎟️ Tickets are available through the link in our bio and on our website.
We’ll see you at the House!

🎨 Steve R. Allen is in the spotlight!
We’re excited to share that acclaimed artist Steve R. Allen recently sat down with GPB’s Kristi York Wooten for an engaging conversation about his artistic practice, his journey, and his exhibitions at Hammonds House Museum, Infinite Inheritance and O Jogo Bonito (The Beautiful Game).
Hear Steve discuss the ideas, experiences, and inspirations behind his powerful work and distinctive Fractal Afro Futuristic visual language.

✨ ARTIST TALK RECAP ✨
Last week, Hammonds House Museum welcomed artist Steve R. Allen and co-curator Tisha Smith for a fascinating conversation celebrating Allen’s dual exhibitions, Infinite Inheritance and O Jogo Bonito (The Beautiful Game).
Moderated by Tisha Smith—owner of Art You Better, LLC, Public Art Manager/Curator for Fulton County, and co-curator of the exhibitions—the conversation explored Allen’s artistic journey and the evolution of his distinctive “Fractal Afro Futuristic” visual language.
Guests gained insight into how sacred geometry, ancestral knowledge, mathematics, music, athletics, and history converge throughout Allen’s work. Allen also shared stories from his decades-long career, including his selection by the City of Atlanta as its official artist during the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games, a milestone that continues to inspire O Jogo Bonito (The Beautiful Game).
The afternoon was filled with meaningful conversation, personal storytelling, and thoughtful dialogue about Black identity, spirituality, cultural continuity, and the limitless possibilities of Black futures.
We are grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make this Artist Talk such a wonderful success! We hope you will continue to visit and experience Infinite Inheritance and O Jogo Bonito (The Beautiful Game), on view at Hammonds House Museum.
📸 Stay tuned for photos and video highlights from the event!
