"Checking Booth" grievance list on dry erase board

"Checking Booth"

Viewers were invited to "check" me in a flatrack roller derby legal hit, in exchange for writing down a "grievance" that they have on a dry erase board.

This exchange with my audience was successful in a couple of ways: they were allowed to vent, and then welcome to take their stress out on me physically.
Many people left the installation feeling empowered and relieved.


A special thanks to DJ Olive for the opportunity, Sam and Chris for help with the installation, and Matt for the documentation.
