Please join us for the unveiling of Zoë Charlton’s Third Watch installation at the North Avenue Market!
The evening’s program considers the entire block as an architectural pedestal for Charlton’s work with performances, installations, and celebrations further activating the market’s vacant and thriving spaces.
Serving as anchor points on both ends of the block, More than Four Women for Four Hours—led by Ada Pinkston—bridges durational performance, storytelling, and experimental sound beginning in 1915 Maryland Avenue (formerly the Stillpoint Theatre space) and ending at Club Car.
Over the course of four hours a group of Black women performers will embody acts of confinement, kinship, and healing throughout the historic location that once excluded Black people. Featuring Ada Pinkston, Noelle Tolbert, Amorous Ebony, Muse(O)Fire, Sheila Gaskins, and Tracey Beale (with Konjur Collective)
The evening’s activities also include a presentation by Dreamseeds – a workshop series organized by Hannah Brancato and Sanahara Ama Chandra – showcasing a light-based installation created with J Van Story Branch Senior Residents and an open houses at Baltimore Youth Arts – highlighting work by their artists in response to Third Watch – and Currency Studio who will host our Unveiling Reception with remarks from Zoë Charlton, Derrick Adams, and José Ruiz from 7-8pm.
This is a FREE event open to the public. Reserve your spot!
The North Avenue Market spaces utilized for this event are wheelchair-accessible.
