Visual Art
Visual Art can make a strong public statement for a Rising. Collaborative art projects can visually represent individual and collective experiences and dreams for the future. Here is a link to art that has been made for One Billion Rising that can be printed and displayed.
Here are some different types of visual art projects that can be offered in a Rising:
