For the Urban Garden, a unique agriculture and art space located in Pittsburgh’s PNC Park, Rainbow Serpent curated a permanent exhibition called Miracles in Motion. Sponsored by Duquesne Light Company, this exhibition features the first public installation of the paintings of Marquita Sams, a professional artist, dancer, choreographer, teacher, and social worker whose work is inspired by spiritual systems from the African diaspora, energy, and crystal healing, astrology, meditation, and dreaming. Thirteen of her paintings were installed on planters in the space.

Miracles in Motion is a multi-dimensional title that references the forceful energy that is invoked in her paintings, dance, and healing work; meditates on the movement to be found everywhere in the cosmos; and is a statement of her personal triumph over illness (she received a life-saving liver transplant in 2016).
