Sharing your story with Over Ruled
How do rules affect your life?

Looking Up Art is a team of artists dedicated to creating large-scale public art, and this year we are creating a 12-foot sculpture featuring nine testimonials—real stories from real people—about the impacts of rules in their lives. We hope our art will raise awareness of restorative justice as a practice, and as a component for racial justice in particular. This art will be installed at Burning Man 2023, and possibly other venues in the future.  

We need your help. We value your perspective.

We are currently gathering the testimonials that will appear in this piece. If you have an experience with rules—formal ones, like laws, or informal ones, like norms and expectations; ones that you broke or ones you blindly followed—that left an important impact on your life, please leave a submission on this form with a few details, and we will be in touch with you. 

We especially seek your story if you've been disproportionately impacted by enforcement (social, legal, otherwise). We will honor and respect your story—we will not share any part of it without your consent, and we would be grateful to hear what you have to say.
