“One Million Stars” Kick-Off Event

01:00 pm to 03:00 pm
Mathers Museum of World Cultures
http://www.lotusfest.org/event/one-million-stars-kick-off-event/

Learn to weave an 8-pointed star and join a worldwide movement! Lotus officially launches its 2016 visual-arts initiative, “One Million Stars to End Violence: Lotus International Star-Weaving Project” on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day 2016.

Instructors will teach the Samoan star-weaving technique and share this Australian-led initiative inspired by a quote by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: “Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.” Lotus is one of only two US partners with the Australia-based initiative “One Million Stars to End Violence” and has committed to weaving and contributing at least 10,000 stars over the next year. Stars will be featured in an installation at the 23rd Lotus World Music & Arts Festival, at an exhibit in City Hall in December, and then as part of a worldwide installation of 1,000,000 stars in Australia in 2018. Recommended for ages 8 and up, including families and groups.

Registration not required. However, if you are planning to bring a large group, please let us know. Light refreshments are provided. Contact: Loraine Martin, Outreach Director at [email protected] or (812) 336-6599.

Cost: Free
