" How Are You ? "

[Blank Noise]

3 words to a stranger : How Are You ?  Sometimes I want to say thank you to the nameless, faceless stranger who saw me in distress , amidst being verbally abused. It was crowded. There was a scene. We were the scene. I heard a voice yell " run " . I ran away from that site. And, in my own time, from that relationship too.  It has been eight years. I have often thought of that moment and said thank you to that voice, that faceless stranger.   We are raised to be careful of strangers. Maybe that's why they are called such. " Anjaan" or "unknown" person in hindi too. The person to be feared. It's risky. Dangerous even.   What kind of a stranger are you to someone else? What is the relationship between you as 'stranger' and your understanding of self and identity? Can you be an Action Shero/ Hero/ Theyro stranger? Can we work to build care capacity and trust?  These ideas inform a the project How Are You ? Welcome a stranger into an audio only conversation with you.  This is your first and only conversation with this person. You have an hour together. She/He/They could be in another part of the world or perhaps in your neighbourhood. The event asks you to remain anonymous and not reveal your identity. Ask your partner,  " How Are You ". Asking rests on being able to share how you are too. Please review event guidelines below and register.   Participate In #HowAreYou : Sign Up Here Sign up for any one of the events.
