ARISING
A CALL
WOMEN OF ALL AGES, FROM ALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD:
YOU ARE INVITED TO SEND A TESTAMENT
OF HARM DONE TO YOU FOR BEING A WOMAN.
WRITE YOUR TESTAMENT IN YOUR OWN LANGUAGE,
IN YOUR OWN WORDS, AND WRITE HOWEVER OPENLY YOU WISH.
YOU MAY SIGN YOUR FIRST NAME IF YOU WISH,

WILL BE PRESERVED AND
EXHIBITED IN MY INSTALLATION ARISING,

RISING
Listen to your heart
Respect your intuition
Make your manifestation
Thereʼs no limitation
Have courage
Have rage
Weʼre all together
Follow your heart
Use your intuition
Make your manifestation
Thereʼs no confusion
Have courage
Have rage
Weʼre rising
