Senbazuru Dallas is a free, community-centered multimedia-music festival presented by Nova Pangea that uses collective art making and immersive performance to promote peace, healing, and cross-cultural understanding in Dallas.
Inspired by the Japanese tradition of Senbazuru—the folding of 1,000 origami cranes as a symbol of hope and healing—and the legacy of Sadako Sasaki, whose wish for world peace has become an international symbol of resilience and nonviolence, the project responds to the negative growing effects of resentment and social division within our communities.
Nova Pangea will invite community members of all ages and backgrounds to collaboratively fold 1,000 origami cranes. This free, hands-on workshop emphasizes accessibility, dialogue, and collective creation. Each participant contributes to a shared artwork that represents a collective wish for peace, healing, and unity. No prior artistic experience is required.
Between events, Nova Pangea will prepare the cranes—reinforcing, and stringing them—to transform community participation into a cohesive multimedia experience.

Do you know how to fold an Origami crane? We need your help!
Join Nova Pangea for Senbazuru Dallas, a community gathering inspired by the Japanese tradition of folding 1,000 Origami cranes as a symbol of hope, peace, and harmony. Our goal is simple: bring people together and fold 1,000 cranes for Harmony. To reach this goal, we need as many experienced Origami folders as possible to join us, share your skills, and help others learn how to fold a crane.
Whether you can fold one crane or dozens, every crane brings us closer to 1,000. Come meet fellow Origami enthusiasts, help teach others, and be part of a meaningful community experience.
We need all the help we can get!
Senbazuru Dallas is presented by Nova Pangea, a Dallas-based band creating music and community experiences centered on positive messages, compassion, and harmony.
