The Moree Community Library will be holding a Star Weave Jam on Friday, March 17 from 10.30am and invites residents to come along and join in the conversation.
Moree Library coordinator Samantha Geatches said the One Million Stars project, created by Maryann Tali Pau, is a peaceful global weaving project that engages communities in a conversation about ending all forms of violence.
“Each star weaved symbolises a person’s commitment to practice light, hope, courage and solidarity,” she said.
“Raising community awareness is very important because Moree has a hidden domestic violence issue and we want to weave communities of courage to end violence.”
The project finishes in July 2017 and all stars made will feature in a large scale public art installation during the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games, sending a visible message of hope and compassion around the world.
The stars can be made of any material (such as old newspapers, magazines, gift wrapping ribbon, etc.) and instructions and video tutorial https://youtu.be/qSjyDqztzaQ on how to make the stars are available from the library or the One Million Stars website.
Drop your finished stars to the Moree Community Library by mid June 2017.
