Curated by Souleo, this exhibition stands as both a tribute and a reckoning, revealing how art and sound can hold the weight of history while still shimmering with joy.Through McCall's collages and button-laden creations, visitors feel the pulse of communities that found freedom and family on the dance floor, in the recording studio, and in each other's arms. His Diva Worship series exalts the transformative power of performance—the divas whose voices gave courage to those on the margins and who, in turn, became mirrors of queer resilience and beauty. In REWIND: Memories on Repeat, McCall turns nostalgia into narrative, using the language of collage to honor friendships lost to time and celebrate the life force that music preserved in their memory, while the Blue series channels the emotional depth of the blues, echoing artists like Billie Holiday who taught the world that vulnerability could sing.Souleo's curatorial lens amplifies this interplay between personal story and collective history, drawing out the symphony within McCall's practice—how music becomes material, how memory becomes melody. Together, artist and curator orchestrate a space that transcends genre or era; a place where visitors are invited not only to look, but to feel, listen, and remember.Ultimately, Divas, Blues, and Memories is a celebration of the indomitable spirit that art and music embody—a testament to the way creativity transforms pain into poetry, loss into legacy, and rhythm into healing. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/atlanta/diva-spotlight-buttons-blues-and-backstage-truths-beau-mccall-artist-talk/100001981604142333 - **Event Categories**: Art, Exhibitions, fine-arts, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fdiva-spotlight-buttons-blues-backstage-truths-beau-mccall-artist-talk-tickets-1981604142333 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Atlanta - **state**: GA - **country**: United States - **location**: Hammonds House Museum - **lat**: 33.741241 - **long**: -84.420882 - **full address**: Hammonds House Museum, 503 Peeples St SW, Atlanta, United States ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Lifelink of Georgia, Hammonds House Museum & Auburn Avenue Research Library (https://allevents.in/org/lifelink-of-georgia-hammonds-house-museum-and-auburn-avenue-research-library/21817800) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/8d756a7c60311c9ae9115ab4d4f8eb78d2a5344e9ce27c13e4f3e93ea1d6fdb9-rimg-w1050-h1362-dc302e2f-gmir.jpg?v=1769661345 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/3c8869751be8b37fc166fd34aaeb3eec87d22c0cf5ccc2f4e368cd69c32e9d6e-rimg-w400-h400-dc302e2f-gmir.jpg?v=1769661344 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening?
