Star Weaving - One Billion Stars
The One Billion Stars project (formerly One Million Stars to End Violence) was founded by Maryann Talia Pau, a Samoan – Australian weaving artist, and her husband Mark Yettica-Paulson, an Indigenous leader and cross-cultural specialist. After creating an installation of one million hand woven stars from over 15 countries for the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, our new goal is to weave one billion stars by 2032.
The purpose of weaving stars is to continue nurturing global conversations of how to end violence using the joy and healing power of the arts and traditional crafts. Each woven star is a beautiful symbol of light, courage and solidarity to end all forms of violence, including violence against women, bullying and racism.
No bookings required.
