Angels and Muse proudly announces the inaugural edition of the Black Muse Art Festival, which will take place from November 8 to 12, 2025, in Benin City, Edo State, under the theme “Let the Forest Dance.”
Borrowing inspiration from Wole Soyinka’s seminal play “A Dance of the Forests”, the festival reimagines art as a transformative lens for conservation, community, and cultural continuity.
At the heart of the festival is the long-awaited unveiling of the Black Muse Sculpture Park, a landmark cultural site envisioned as a living space for public art, dialogue, and gathering. The festival will also feature artist talks, workshops, masterclasses, and theatre performances.
