Age Limit: Must be ages 12+  

Join us for our upcoming Seed to Tree workshop, "Playful World Building," led by Robert Karimi (he/they) on Saturday, September 21 from 10am-1pm!

Inspired by Silver Star, the first character imagined by Octavia E. Butler, Robert will guide participants through a creative journey to:

• Tell stories and design games using imagination and play
• Build fantastical worlds and bring imaginary characters to life
• Have fun along the way!

During the workshop, you’ll integrate your games and worlds into the Museum’s Octavia E. Butler: Seeding Futures installation, experiencing the space as both a creator and a player. Discover storytelling techniques used by authors like Laura Harjo (Mvskoke Tool of Futurity) and Jorge Luis Borges (Book of Imaginary Beings) to fuel your imagination and world-building skills.

This workshop is perfect for those looking to deepen their connection to Octavia E. Butler's work and explore the art of interactive storytelling through game design!

This is a free workshop for children 12+ and adults!
