Lorys Lane & the remarkable 2Lei in Second Life initiative are at the helm of Nov-Dec 2014 round of the LEA FULL SIM ART SERIES at LEA 6. A full list of the
LEA Full SIM offering since inception in 2011 can be found HERE.
The current round of the LEA Full Sim series runs through February 2015.
LAUNCH: ALREADY OPEN
FULL PROGRAMME OF EVENTS BELOW
In Lorys Lane's words:
2Lei in Second Life is a collaborative project between some groups in Second Life, which began
in 2010 with the aim to raise awareness and disseminate events related to the
“International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women".
Virtual artists, gallery
owners, musicians and the cultural figures of Second Life are invited to share
the common message of solidarity to the women via their particular Art. For the fifth year in a row, a
committee of volunteers has chosen to devote time, energy and ideas together to
realize projects and activities to say "No violence against women in the
world."
2Lei will go beyond the
canonical virtual boundaries of recent years, through a number of projects
already in the works, and through you. Beyond the frontiers of Second
Life, 2Lei seeks to become like a spider's web that is woven slowly, but which
becomes indestructible, rooted at every point.
On June 2014 "2Lei in
Second Life" committee took part in SLB11 celebration with the
installations "Revise the next": 3 photos by Paola Mills, and a mesh sculpture composed by Moore
Tone, with creative contributions of all members; this is why the mesh was
load by 2Lei Resident, the official avatar of the committee.
The central figure, symbol of
uniformity contemporary, evolves into a future dominated by the differences
that co-exist and work together, generating positive feelings.
Respect, trust and equality -
our empire of the mind - are the focus of the installation, but rather
than expect them, we would try to get them, educating and training the future. The intent of the 2Lei initiatives
was always to create, day after day, a new brick to build a world fit for
individual without distinction, nor prevarication, but based on positive
feelings.
2Lei 2014: Rebirth... together!
This
year’s theme is "Rebirth…
together!". We cannot just denounce: we must dare to hope, to dream,
to act, to make the dream come true and springboard for new dreams. Dreams in
which men and women cooperate together to build a more just, more healthy
society, in which violence does not represent the instrument upon which to
convey anger, frustration, fear, and aggression.
We
wish every woman’s heart beat be as strong as the drum of life. No woman will
be forgotten or left behind. The "Rebirth" marks the passage of the
works of artists who are exhibiting in these spaces, and the performers who
will take turns on stage. The program is rich and detailed, and offers many
insights. Now we want to talk about "rebirth". A rebirth towards a
world where people can live, breathe, and dream without the fear of having to
defend themselves. We are reborn together in front of each painting, opera,
photograph, theater or musical show that a fragment of this kaleidoscope of
images, desires, dreams, passions, and every project of rebirth involves.
Primarily this involves the denunciation of what is evil, of what is burning,
what clip wings, and cuts short lives. Then, after the denunciation, comes the
dream: the work, the strength to believe it, and to make it happen together.
"TOGETHER" is the keyword of a true renaissance. And we will be the
first to give testimony. Men and women who, together, believe in this project
and have put in place. Thank you for sharing this journey with us.
