Proposal for assignment 5 (?)

Hello!
So for this project I have a few ideas and I don't know which would be more interesting.

Ideas:
1.) Wear a sign all day that reads "please don't touch me" and record how people respond. I'm aware that it is possible that people will touch me anyways just to make a joke. With this I really want to emphasize on personal space and issues many women face with unwanted touching or closeness. Some could argue the sign is provoking that reaction, but what it says is contradictory. Kind of like when people say "what she was wearing provoked him".
Also, I hate when people touch me without consent or if I don't know them. I feel like slapping some hands... (just kidding). What I hope to point out is people's inability to follow a simple unspoken rule once it's plastered on my body.

2.) unravel a sweater or long knitted garment while talking aloud about nothing at all or something personal. I'd probably film this.

3.) play violin without knowing what I sound like in public.

4.) read aloud on film every horrible name you can call a woman, and then a man. Compare lists.

5.) smash a bunch of snow globes.

I think I like the top one best but I haven't really developed the other ideas yet.
