The Hammonds House Museum presents opening night of "Beau McCall: Divas, Blues, and Memories".

Curated by Souleo.

Beau McCall: Divas Blues & Memories features dazzling collages and button-encrusted works. Beautifully curated by Souleo, you’ll step into an exhibition that treats music as both sanctuary and soundtrack as music channels the songs, performers, and friendships that have carried him from the disco floors of the 1970s to the present day.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2026 | 6:30 PM - 9 PM

Registration required.

Join Artistic Director Halima Taha, artist Beau McCall, and curator Souleo for an electrifying conversation that pulls back the curtain on Beau McCall: Divas, Blues, and Memories. This panel explores how buttons, blues, and divas come together to tell fiercely personal yet deeply collective stories of Black style, queer resilience, and memory.

Together, the trio reflects on grief and celebration, intimacy and spectacle, and the power of Black queer creativity to turn vulnerability into radiance. Audience members will be invited into the conversation through a moderated Q&A, leaving with a deeper understanding of how McCall’s practice reimagines adornment as testimony, and how Hammonds House is positioning this exhibition as a touchstone for dialogue about performance, memory, and Black futures.
