Workshop
GRIOT GENDER by Oreoluwa Akinyode

Saturday, 10.25.2025
12:00 – 3:00 pm

GRIOT GENDER is a workshop that invites individuals to pass a story to one another within a communal learning and sharing space. Participants are invited to come to this workshop with a short story about themselves, their life, their community, where they come from, and truly any niche story one wants to live through the passing of stories. Oreoluwa will invite participants to demystify archival methods and exalt the history of traditional oral storytelling with them. In this writing and performance based workshop Oreoluwa will also be sharing writing, short film, musical and sonic examples of the storytellers who paved the way for them to think of the ways a story can take shape and morph into something new everyday.

About Inviting Light:

Informed by the Station North Public Space Plan and Signal Station North, a two-year community engagement, planning, and prototyping process that sought to understand light’s impact on the nighttime environment and our sense of comfort and place, illuminate the city’s lighting history and infrastructure, and bring transparency and access to everyday citizens, Inviting Light’s five distinct artistic light installations will promote safety and further revitalization efforts in a historically disinvested area.

Inviting Light is sponsored by Bloomberg Philanthropies and facilitated by Central Baltimore Partnership in partnership with the Mayor’s Office and Senior Advisor for Arts & Culture, and the Neighborhood Design Center. Read more about the award here.

World-Building Workshop
Imagining Otherwise: from Mantis Harper-Blanco and Alberto Garaulet

Saturday, 10.11.2025
12:00 – 1:30 pm

Imagining Otherwise is a playful and collaborative workshop exploring how worlds—real or imagined—are made and remade. Drawing from Odyssey Works’ four foundational elements of worldbuilding, we will join in groups to discuss and respond to an imagined scenario. Together, we’ll shed light on the power of collective imagination, and rekindle the agency we all have as active contributors of larger narratives.

Fix-It Fair is a FREE, family friendly event hosted by the Station North Tool Library and open to the public. At Fix-It Fair, you’ll get help from experienced volunteers making common repairs on clothes, furniture, leather items, bikes, etc.

Please register for the event! This helps us prep tools and consumables, screen for items that aren't a good fit, and set up volunteers for success. While registration is strongly preferred; drop-ins are welcome. All participants will need to check-in their items on site.

We are partnering with the Department of Public Works (DPW) and will be offering Textile & Electronics recycling again! Due to the immense success and interest from previous Fix-It Fairs, we’ll also be extending the event by one hour!

• Textiles – Donate clothes, linens, or rags you no longer need. Reusable items will be sorted and sent to thrift partners, while non-reusable items will be recycled into materials like insulation or industrial wiper rags. More information on textile recycling here. 

• Electronics – Bring old electronics like phones, printers, controllers, and TVs. They will be dismantled to recover valuable materials, and harmful substances like mercury or lead will be safely removed and disposed of. More information on electronics recycling here.
