Near the Exits — Kristin Hatcher

Hello.

Welcome, this is a collection of things to remember and things to inform current projects.

And it’s a space to allow ideas to cross pollinate and co-mingle.

I hope you’ll find something to take with you that provokes or incites or coaxes you in the direction you’re trying to go. Or maybe you’ll find something simply causes you stop and mull. That would be good too.

Thanks for being here.

Feb 21 Near the Exits

Kristin Hatcher

Recently, I met with a group of sexual assault advocates on a college campus. They are students who support other students. We sat at a table outside the library. It was a blissful 77 degrees in the California sun. At home, the forecast called for snow.

Describing their work they said, when there are big parties we are sober and we stand near the exits to see if anyone needs help as they leave. We do things like walk people home.

Is there any more sacred work than this?
