Art Club: Octavia’s Collage
Event Details
Tickets & Info
Let’s create new worlds together! Join teaching artists Dr. Catherine Squires and Marika Pfefferkorn for a creative collaging event. Ground yourself in art and—in the words of Octavia Butler—in community.
Octavia’s Collage is part of a thematic workshop series hosted at local sites across the Twin Cities, drawing on themes from books and essays by Octavia Butler and writers inspired by her legacy.
Two decades after the publication of Butler’s last book, Fledgling, and 10 years after the collection Octavia’s Brood declared the emergence of a new generation taking up her mantle, this workshop will seed creative energy and support those dedicated to dreaming up a new world.
Materials are provided and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis; supplies are limited. Activities are designed for all skill levels. No prior registration is required for Art Club. The more you visit, the more you’ll discover.

Dr. Catherine R. Squires is a writer, editor, and yoga instructor. She has written multiple books and essays on media, race, and politics, including The Post-Racial Mystique: Media & Race in the 21st Century. Now retired from academia, she teaches yoga, makes collages, and writes creative nonfiction as a healing practice.
The Twin Cities Innovation Alliance (TCIA) is a social venture, intended to spark, resource, and guide entrepreneurs as they grow and scale their businesses across the Twin Cities, operating out of the need for greater diversity, inclusion, and equity in technology and entrepreneurship. After 15 years of self-funded initiatives from programing and volunteering in St. Paul, the organization launched TCIA with initial seed investment from the Knight Foundation. TCIA is a coalition of stakeholders representing a cross-sector of public, private, and community organizations, corporations, and institutions led by visionaries, academics, thought leaders, and individuals who are invested in the Twin Cities’ continued evolution as a forward‐thinking, innovative, “smart” global city.
