‘Star weave jam’ in Otara

Fresh Gallery Otara is proud to host a ‘Star Weave Jam’ as part of the ‘One Million Stars to End Violence project.

Join the gallery to weave stars from ribbons with Australian based Samoan weaver Maryann Talia Pau and to contribute to this community project.

The beautiful stars are symbols of light, courage and solidarity to end all forms of violence, including violence against women, bullying and racism.

The million star project began in 2012 by Maryann Talia Pau, since then it has grown into an international weaving movement with stars being woven by communities in New Zealand, Australia, the Pacific Islands, Europe and the USA.

The short term goal is to weave one million stars and to display them at the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast in 2018 in Queensland, in partnership with the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games arts and cultural program.

The long term goal is be light and courage for each other and not act violently with our words and actions, but with passion and generosity.

It will be held at Fresh Gallery Otara, on August 27 from 11am - 1.30pm.
