We sleep to create a new memory for our bodies and our public environments.
We sleep to offer what the new normal could be.
Sleep remembering Jyoti Singh, Priyanka Reddy and all women, girls who have battled sexual violence. Meet To Sleep , in our personal and collective truth.
Meet To Sleep because collective action can make it possible. Our bodies will, through new learnt experience, tell new stories ; located in belonging, connection, pride, replacing fear, shame and violation.
Meet To Sleep, to heal.

sleep anywhere under the open sky
sleep under your favourite tree
bring yourself to a park
fields, a river bank, or the sea
the desert
or the neighbourhood street bench
steps that lead to the pond
caves ,rocks, hills
dream up where that might be.
thousands will sleep alone. together
sleep to wander
wander to sleep
under the vastness of skies
claiming the ground beneath
rest.
inviting the winter sun
to witness this new story
our bodies
in sleep
free from fear
we work to unclench the fist
lie down. close your eyes.
claim the dreams denied.
leap towards a new memory.
