Recorded live at the Catharine Clark Gallery in San Francisco, this premiere Step-In! episode captures the project’s debut — visitors stepping forward to share spontaneous reflections surrounded by art and community.
Step-In! begins its journey at the Catharine Clark Gallery in San Francisco — a space already alive with creativity, dialogue, and attentive listening. Inside this installation by artists Lenka Clayton, Nanci Amaka, and Katherine Vetne, visitors stepped into the Story Booth, one by one, and shared whatever rose to the surface in the moment. No script. No rehearsal. Just presence — a voice, a breath, a thought caught in real time.
This first episode captures the spirit of Step-In!: spontaneous story-sharing as a gentle act of community-making. These recordings were gathered live at the gallery and will become part of a growing sound tapestry of everyday voices — weaving together strangers, place, memory, and the courage of “showing up” with our words.
One voice at a time. One community taking shape.
