Caption: What results is a collection of mundane moments from decidedly non-mundane individuals—a mixture of quiet, strange, and chaotic instances that mirror the organization that bore them. What stood out to me was the depth of history contained within the order—from early sex education pamphlets the sisters distributed in the Castro district, to hearing the sisters' perspective on the struggles queer people face in modern times, I got the sense that whatever we were experiencing now, the sisters had experienced it in some form before.
