WITNESS | Part II 10.19.24

As the second part of the trilogy, collected stories were shared on the washline and witnessed by passersby on 14th Street. Thank you to all those who quietly witnessed, those who felt inclined to share a story, and to those who held space for their community. New York City showed up for one another and that was a beautiful thing to witness.

We discovered that this abandoned lot used to be home to Saint Zita’s Home for Friendless Women. We are friendless no more in the arms of the washerwomen. We stand on the shoulders of giants.

A special shout out to our neighbors .mcgrath for exemplifying how beautiful it can be when women in art and community gather. And also to our guardian art angels

The Sunday ceremony will begin promptly at 10:30am and continue through the early afternoon. Come for the day, come for a little while. Either way, we would love to see yotu!
