One Million Stars

This is not about stamps, ink and paper, but I had the privilege of making some of these stars with my Quota Carindale friends.

What is One Million Stars all about?

Museum of Brisbane will present the One Million Stars installation as part of Festival 2018 during GC2018 in King George Square Brisbane.

One Million Stars to End Violence is a global weaving project created by a local artist and weaver Maryann Talia Pau that has encouraged individuals, groups, and communities to weave stars to inspire light, hope and peace in the world.

Commencing in 2016 Maryann Talia Pau collaborated with the Queensland Government to engage individuals, groups, and communities across the Commonwealth and the world to weave one million stars for an installation. Stars have been received from star weavers across 15 countries including Nigeria, USA, Canada, Kenya, Fiji, Barbados, Tonga, Japan, New Zealand, Malaysia, Samoa, Scotland, England, Cook Island and Australia.

The weaving project will culminate in a large scale immersive installation of one million woven stars in King George Square from March 29 to 15 April 2018
