Mission of the Make Space Initiative
The Make Space initiative aims to establish a global hub for creatives and artists to live and thrive in Baltimore within collective ownership structures. This initiative also seeks to build meaningful connections with artists, makers, and doers from the diaspora, intending to create networks that will disrupt traditional marketplaces through collaborative efforts.
Focus on Ghana
This particular event will highlight the contributions of Ghanaian artists and entrepreneurs who are actively involved in work both locally and in the diaspora. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in discussions with these artists, learning about their projects and experiences.
Partnership with Tree Baltimore
The event will also feature a partnership with Tree Baltimore, where free trees will be distributed to Baltimore City residents. This initiative reinforces the commitment to sustainability and community enhancement.
Community Engagement and Celebration
Participants are encouraged to interact, enjoy food, and celebrate the ongoing development of a revolutionary housing model that emphasizes sustainability, collectivity, and creativity. The event promises an atmosphere of joy and community, aligning with the theme of “Welcome to the Door of Return,” symbolizing a reconnection to heritage that can inform future endeavors.
