One Billion Rising, 14 February 2019

When one billion humans join the same mission: Rise! Resist! Unite! That's One Billion Rising in SL. I'm so glad that I can join the movement this year (and I would like to join again the next year!). The event held on 14 February 2019 at the http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/OBR%20Rise/51/79/23 It's a one-day event, so if you want to be there, now is your time!

Fight for women and children has become my mission because women and children often used to satisfy the passion of power by man. When I found out about One Billion Rising from Facebook, I thought it will be a good event to unite and fight together. And yes it's true, there was a lot of artworks that will raise the enthusiasm to fight together for women here. I hope that this event will make people see and support the mission so that many people will rise and unite, to resist the violence against women.

"My artwork for One Billion Rising tries to capture the moment when a person who has endured rape, sexual abuse, or violence of any kind finally breaks free of the pain that they've experienced, be it physical or emotional."

"The Matilda effect is a bias against acknowledging the achievements of those women scientists whose work is attributed to their male colleagues. This effect was first described by suffragist and abolitionist Matilda Joslyn Gage in her essay, "Woman as Inventor". "

"After the Chain Breaks"
We speak of breaking the chain, to end the cycle of oppression and exploitation, but then after the chain is broken, the momentum cannot stop there. We have to change the world for the better, for good. We are in a time now where those in power are striving to reverse the tide of change. This cannot be allowed, we must not be silenced or stopped. The oppression will end when we take away the concept of "power" and in its place there is freedom. For everyone.

This year, One Billion Rising in Second Life is especially saluting the work and courage of the joint Nobel Peace Prize winners in 2018, Denis Mukwege and Nadia Murad “for their efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war and armed conflict,” according to the Norwegian Nobel Committee announcement on 5 October 2018 in Oslo, Norway.

The Burn2 Conception: Communal Earth Art Exhibition

Its always funs to participate in the Burn2 art exhibition. It is more than an exhibition! It is such a family and friends reunion. I like how the committee handles the visitor like family, they greet all the visitor: "Welcome home!" Such a very nice greet! I also like the Burning Man's 10 Principles , they are so matched with my principles about humanity. That's why I always waiting for the chance to participate in the event. OK, so this is my artwork for the Communal Earth art exhibition. The theme is The Preservation of The Earth. Through my art installation, I tell a story about human efforts to preserve the earth.

So that every human being on earth is now bound by the responsibility to preserve the earth since he/she was born.  Glued inside the glo...

Tour To The Art Shop Gallery At The Valley

In this post, I want to introduce our newest gallery. This gallery is in the Chilbo sim. In the past when I have just arrived at the Second Life, Chilbo was a sim that I first visited after the welcome hub. Then in 2018 when I returned to Second Life after 4 years of vacuum, Maggi Larimore offered me to buy her land. I agree cause I need to expand my art gallery and because Chilbo comes with many sims around it. There are more than 12 sims there that are continuous each other. I choose land that has direct access to the streets between sims. That way if there are avatars that pass, they will see my gallery. So I don't just rely on advertising to introduce my gallery's existence. At the beginning of designing this gallery, I had confusion. I want to build a building there, but it looks like it's too mainstream. Hey, all galleries do it too! They own the building, put artworks in the building. Even though we don't need to worry about the artwork in Second Life if the...
