Art aficionados 🤝 Autumn lovers… we’ve got just the event for you. Join us in the Sculpture Garden on October 8 from 3–8 pm for Oktoberfest.⁠
⁠
Sakhmet, pictured here, was the daughter of the ancient Egyptian sun god Re. In her role as a protector, she defended Egypt from all enemies—typically through violence that led to an unquenchable blood lust. Her violence was believed to be so relentless that she had to be placated with offerings like beer dyed the color red to resemble blood.⁠
⁠
Inspired by Sakhmet’s taste, we’ll celebrate craft beer, community with the iconic Bed-Stuy bar Bed-Vyne Brew and have an opportunity to revel in ancient Egypt with a tour from curator, Yekaterina Barbash. ⁠
