The Stranger’s Project

What started as a small experiment has grown into my life’s work, and I’m grateful it caught your eye. The Strangers Project is built to be explored — whether you’re here to read, to share, or simply to see what it’s all about.

If you’re curious about how it all began, you can learn more about the story behind the project. If you’d like to see it in action, you can plan a visit to the story wall in New York City. If you want to bring it to your own community, there’s a way to start that conversation. And if you believe in keeping this space open and free for everyone, your support makes that possible.

• Every story is collected in person. There are no online or mailed submissions.
• 100,000+ Stories collected so far
• The Strangers Project is based in NYC, but I also take the Strangers Project to as many cities as I can.
• Stories are shared from all ages and all walks of life.

We are inside the World Trade Center Oculus – I’m currently open every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 2pm-6:30pm. Visitors are able to explore hundreds of stories from the archive, learn about the history of the project, and even share their own story to be added to the collection.
