2Lei - The Passion of women
A tribute to the woman who wants to be 360 \u200b\u200bdegrees at the same time a sign of solidarity with the women raped, abused, denigrated, enslaved, hated, feared, exploited ... a way to be close to all the women on this day can not be with us to voice their hymn to life because their passion has not ended with a resurrection .. but with the death, deprivation ... the annihilation of the being. A hug to all those women who have walked with us on this world with close to humans accused of a difference does not exist, a particularly uncomfortable, a feeling of inappropriate, dangerous enthusiasm of a woman .. a being to be destroyed rather than love.
Being a woman is to be human! With our virtual bodies, our global consciousness and the immortality that distinguishes us in this perfect world we want to dedicate a day to human.
the day that meets the real world without boundaries in this complaint, we open the doors of the Metaverse to spread our message of solidarity with women.
This message wants to reach the hearts of human beings through the virtual art. Pride of a parallel society in which creative expression and undermines the distances together under a single manifest.
2Lei is an example of the cooperation of the residents of Second Life from an Italian project brought together for the same cause artists and galleries around the world to dedicate one day in the virtual environment to the Passion of women.
The November 25, 2010 in Second Life come with us and embraces all women in the world!
