A personal inquiry into collective life.
I am Sarah Kim, a researcher interested in the intimate relationship between cities and everyday life. I look at the ordinary spaces, systems, and stories through which urban life becomes visible.
This site is a home for writing, projects, and notes in progress—my own threads of questions toward understanding our cities and imagining more generous ones for everyone.

What becomes visible when we slow down in familiar places?
