where death work coalesces with art
Nine Keys Art Gallery
This page is curated like a gallery wall.
It is a living testimonial to Nine Keys and a directory of the death workers who carry this lineage into the world.
What you see here is only a glimpse. Nine Keys artists work across many forms, some visible on walls, some performance, some poetry,
some living in rooms, rituals, conversations, and communities.
This is evidence of the work.

“The creative process is an enigmatic journey akin to deciphering the mysteries present at the end of life.
Both involve piecing together numinous elements and constructing a narrative from fragments of clues.
In both cases, there’s a quest to understand the unknown and an invitation to make something
out of uncertainty.”

Students say…
”Nine Keys has reignited my love for making art!”
”I feel more in touch with my art because of Nine Keys than I did in grad school getting an art degree.”
“Nine Keys opens portals. It opens possibilities. It opens hearts.”
