We are Emma Piorier and Miranda Karson. We are seniors at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington. We are students of many things; Visual Arts, Education, Spanish, African American Studies and Gender Studies. We are thinkers, poets, story-tellers, friends, artists, movers, explorers, and dancers.

We crafted the inspiration for this project on a brewery patio. We spoke of growing up; of being girls and learning and unlearning what that meant as we experienced the sexual world around us, of the wonder of our teenage selves and the injustices we experienced. We are not the same and neither are our stories, yet we found an unidentified similarity in their tellings.  Our connection and the realization that we are not alone in these experiences has carried us to where we are today. We are the Girl House Project. We are building a collective  biography of coming of age and sexual  injustice as a unifying facet of girlhood.
