In Ropes Too

#InRopesToo is a project created to provide healing space through the intersecting stories of four individuals whose lives crossed in the rope field. People who lost touch, due to colliding disparities and interpersonal dynamics, steeped in misogyny, sexism, ableism, capitalism, and financial inequality, all of which divide and overwhelm people who are seeking community and belonging. They were brought back together by a simple question — “why are you not talking to each other?”

This project is their collective way of returning to themselves, after realizing that the desire to support and be present for each other is still there, and that the harm that took place was — and continues to be — systemic.

They are sharing their experiences and process publicly because it highlights some of the systems, structures, and practices that cause harm and protect those responsible. The goal is not revenge or outing, but education, prevention, and healing.
