Boston Public Quartet: MBTA Tour 2026

Boston Public Quartet is performing a 30-min, free concert at the Harvard Square KIOSK as part of their inaugural MBTA Tour. The goal is to bring historically-excluded voices in classical music the masses. BPQ also wants to bring classical music to people who would otherwise not get to experience it.

Miss Christine's Duo Performance

Miss Christine shatters preconceived notions and societal expectations with their music. The band is fronted by Christine Moad (they/them), a singer-songwriter and bassist from Cambridge, Massachusetts. Originally from Iowa, they graduated from Berklee College of Music and set off to travel the world from Tennessee to Monaco as a professionally touring bassist. Their music blends indie rock with blues and soul influences, while their genderqueer and asexual identity inspires their lyrics, challenging the harmful stereotypes and expectations associated with gender and sexuality. The band has extensively toured Midwest and New England Pride Festivals, and cultivated a strong community of queer and trans allyship across the United States, becoming sought-after for their jubilant performances and their engaging and informative Empowering Identities: A Genderqueer and Asexual Music Experience presentation.

Re-Leaf Opening Reception

Join artists from i3C at the Cambridge Kiosk for a reception celebrating the Re-Leaf exhibition, which honors the urban tree canopy and the many hands that nurture these vital living networks. Through creative reuse, i3C artists have transformed plastic, paper, metal, fabric, ocean debris, and other discarded materials into works evoking leaves, branches, and the ever-changing canopy overhead. Together, the artworks celebrate the beauty and resilience of nature while re-imagining cast off materials as symbols of renewal, stewardship, and hope.

Craftivism: Weaving

Join Community Artist Missy Arellano for another Craftivism session around weaving! Come make a mini tapestry out of yarn and talk about how weaving is a form of activism. Weaving blends the slow, deliberate art of textile creation with activism to spark meaningful dialogue.

Snail Mail Station

The Snail Mail Station is a traveling letter-writing table filled with postcards, pens, stamps, and paper—an open invitation to slow down and write to a loved one! It’s a small reminder that connection can be simple, personal, and handwritten. Come by for a moment of reflection and tell your friends, family, and loved ones that you are thinking of them. All are welcome and all necessary supplies will be provided.

Kiosk Comedy

KiOSK Comedy is a one‑hour, no‑intermission variety chaos for misfits, queer folks, and creative outsiders. Serving up a rotating lineup of stand‑up, musical comedy, drag, clown, storytelling, and whatever else we’re unhinged enough to book – plus a safe, welcoming space to actually be your weird self!

Craftivism: Photo Memory Magnets

Come create a one of kind photo memory magnet as part of the ongoing Craftivism Workshop series. Community Artist Missy Arellano will take your photo with a Polaroid camera, and then participants will affix it to a magnet, decorate it, and label it with a word of hope, inspiration, and love.&nbsp;

Reclaim Intimate Mutuality SD-core Jewelry

Stop by and browse Jaguar Kristeller’s vending table of functional microSD jewelry in various forms (necklaces, earrings, bracelets)!

HipStoric Cambridge: Cambridge Kiosk Nites

HipStoric Cambridge KiOSK Nights is a free outdoor performance series that transforms the Cambridge KiOSK into a vibrant gathering place for music, storytelling, film, and community. Produced by HipStory, the series spotlights artists whose work reflects the creative energy and cultural diversity of Greater Boston, creating opportunities for audiences to discover emerging voices alongside established performers in an intimate public setting. Each evening offers a distinct experience through thoughtfully curated performances, conversations, and creative collaborations that encourage connection across artistic disciplines and communities. As part of the series, We Black Folk will partner on select events, bringing its signature approach to celebrating Black folk traditions and contemporary cultural expression through music, storytelling, and community engagement.

Craftivism: Sock Puppets

Grab your old or favorite long lost sock and come repurpose it as a sock puppet! Join Community Artist Missy Arellano in another Craftivism workshop that uses recycled materials to craft sock puppets, which can then be used to tell stories or messages about hopes and dreams. Participants will also be invited to write a short story in Zine and will even have the opportunity to perform in a small handmade theater!

Craftivism: Buttons for Change

Have a message you want to get out to the world? Here’s your chance! Join Community Artist Missy Arellano for the first workshop in a series centered on Craftivism. Participants will be encouraged to channel their passion into productive, beautiful, and reflective buttons to spark real conversation and empathy.
