call for names form — Hannah DeWitt

Content warning: Rape.

I have already completed this performance but will continue accepting names here, as I intend to do reiterations of the performance throughout my life. The second iteration will take place at least two years after the first (3/26/22).

If you submit your name to me here, you are telling me that you have been raped before. I believe you, with no questions asked. I commit to this belief so much that I will get your name tattooed on my body. This is not because I carry the burden we all share, but instead, because I believe that I am stronger when I carry all of you with me. We are bound by our resilience, not our trauma. We are stronger together.

You can submit first name, full name, or the name “anonymous”. If only submitting first name, please enter “NA” in the field marked “last name”.

By submitting your name below, you agree to have your name tattooed on my body, and understand that said tattoo will be documented and displayed as an art piece. This is an issue of privacy not to be taken lightly, so please think on it before you submit. Please do not submit your name if you are in any way uncomfortable with this.

Message

You can share an optional message. Some use this as an opportunity to tell their stories, and some use it as an opportunity to share their thoughts on the project. Messages in this box will be kept private between Hannah and Z.

Messages in this box are for statements that are okay to share publically in writings about the work. This is also optional.

I am not a cyber security expert, and while I will personally guard your information the best that I can, the internet is a dangerous place. If you would prefer to submit your name in an alternative way, please reach out using my ‘contact’ page.
