It feels great to be back in Washington Hall! This is my third WWR. The aroma of home cooking greets us as we go up the stairs. The altar and ofrenda are bright, colorful, gorgeous. The film fest is underway—the audience is the usual beautiful mix of young women (and a few young men). Alice Bag’s hair is blue this year! The UW grad students are sprinkled through the crowd–they stand out to me because I’ve seen their work deepen over the last three years, and seeing them makes me wish I knew as much about every other young woman here–I want to know what questions and what hopes drive each of them. I aim to chat with at least some of them this evening.
