Join us for a free public talk brought to you by Clare Johnson and Humanities Washington.Every night for almost two decades, artist Clare Johnson has drawn and written on a Post-it to save a small piece of each ending day. Currently including over 6,000 sticky notes and growing nightly, this sprawling yet deeply intimate work honors what normal communication can’t—all the separate times held within ourselves, endlessly overlapping, collapsing and refocusing.
In this talk, learn about the project’s unlikely origins, discover how it responds to society’s erasure of queer histories, and experience hidden stories—from the dramatic to the lighthearted—behind individual post-its. Johnson invites audiences to exercise curiosity about hidden histories we each hold, explore the power of meaningful self-made ritual, and uncover strange magic in everyday life.
