An interactive response wall asking visitors to describe their connection to the neighborhood. The overall prompt was "My Connection to Station North is..." and the subcategories were "I grew up here..." "I work here at..." "My favorite place to meet my friends here is..." "I went/go to school here at..." "I remember when..." and "This is my first time here and..."

I worked most closely with artist Jason Hoylman, who is a painter/sculptor and recorded his and friends/neighbors/colleagues movements throughout the neighborhood over a three month period. Here is an installation shot of his final artwork which included a large map of Station North and greater Baltimore.

Inspired by magic cubes, Hoylman chose to represent each participant with a cube and number. Each cube was stacked in a certain order to create a perfect cube, representing the interconnection of people in the neighborhood.

Journals were kept by project participants to record their movements through the neighborhood. The resulting paths were mapped by Holyman to create a continuous image of their movements.

Baltimore's City Paper published a review of the exhibition: "In effect and in presentation... Locally Sourced is as much about the curators’ engagement with the community as the artists’...this particular display effectively highlights the overlooked reality that Station North is not about one group of people—like all urban communities, it’s composed of and propelled by people from all walks of life. In a world where many gallerists and curators often neglect their immediate community, it’s encouraging to see this group of young curators starting their work with this kind of outreach."
