In a moment when many governmental failures are neither hidden nor surprising, we do not need more images of crisis to know that the crisis exists. I aim to create a body of publicly accessible knowledge that supports both the organizations who appear in the work and those who are in need of the services it documents. By photographing the literal thresholds—open doors, awnings, and recognizable street signs—I hope to remove barriers of uncertainty and invite viewers into spaces of community care. I know that my presence is not neutral, particularly as a white academic with a camera, and the history of extractive documentary practices requires vigilance, transparency, and accountability. Thus this project’s visual strategy is shaped by a commitment to respect and privacy, centering architectural gestures of openness to mark a site as accessible rather than bodies or faces. With this in mind, I ask volunteers and workers for permission before photographing; I ask what information they believe should be shared; and I prioritize collaboration rather than observation. Many thanks to the participating mutual aid organizations for their permission to take photographs, and for their incredible community work.
