A CALL TO WOMEN OF ALL AGES, 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, BUT DO NOT GIVE YOUR FULL NAME. SEND A PHOTOGRAPH ONLY OF YOUR EYES. THE TESTAMENTS OF HARM AND PHOTOGRAPHS OF YOUR EYES WILL BE EXHIBITED IN MY INSTALLATION, ARISING, DECEMBER 01, 2023 – AUTUMN 2024, AS PART OF MY EXHIBITION, PEACE IS POWER AT THE NOBEL PEACE CENTER IN OSLO, NORWAY.

THE INSTALLATION ARISING WILL CONTINUE TO GROW AND WILL BE EXHIBITED IN MANY COUNTRIES. I VERY MUCH HOPE FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION.
