+++ CALLING WOMEN OF ALL AGES, FROM ALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD +++
Invitation to Participate
Tales of a Phoenix: The Letting Go Project is a global art project that brings women together in a shared ritual of release. It’s about creating space to let go of what no longer supports us, so we can step forward with greater clarity and openness.
Like a snake shedding its skin, we all carry things we’ve outgrown. What are you ready to let go of? A memory, a fear, a habit, or a belief that no longer fits who you are becoming?
To take part, choose a piece of fabric that feels right to you—it might be a scrap from something old and meaningful, or a fresh piece of cloth that symbolizes new beginnings. On it, write what you’re ready to release. Sign with your first name or keep it anonymous—the choice is yours. Most importantly, treat it as a small act of self-celebration.**
During public performances, I stitch these panels into a monumental skirt. As the project tours exhibitions, the skirt grows with every story added. In its final chapter, the skirt will be gathered and destroyed in a ritual dance, transforming our collective fears and obstacles into a powerful act of release and renewal.
**Feel free to write in your mother tongue and/or respond creatively to support your intention! - A note to professional artists: I’d love for you to participate but please no professional artwork or portfolios. Thank you!
