Kerchief Sign Up Form
Many of us have expressed grief over the loss of connection, testimony, witness, touch, and a shared container for metabolizing our pain into wisdom. While this emotional range is not strictly bounded by the various pandemics that we have suffered lately, this moment deserves a physical process of meaning-making nevertheless.

The call, or prompt, for your contribution is this: "What must be remembered?"

With Kerchief, I offer one means of creatively rebuilding our connective tissue; a tactile object of our individual emotions and collective memorialization; a durable reminder of our knowings that are sifting to the surface at this time to help us heal now and in the future.
