Student artist installs 'cry closet' at university library DATE: 2024-05-25 07:47:25
Not into sobbing in the stacks of your school library? Perhaps a designated closet would do the trick.
Visual artist Nemo Miller has installed a "cry closet" in a library at the University of Utah, where she is a student. The piece is designed to allow students 10-minute secluded crying sessions -- a must for anyone even remotely close to taking a final.

There is only one person allowed in the closet at a time. You can cry for 10 minutes only (well, in the closet, anyway). The lights must be turned off for the next person. And all social media posts about the closet must feature the hashtag #cryclosetuofu.

On Twitter, a lot of people -- mostly students -- seemed into the idea. But others were already looking to use the closet for less wholesome purposes.
