Smile for Nippon: Support the Noto Peninsula Earthquake Project
2026-06-24 - 2026-06-25 | TX
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. Part 1. Community Crane-Making Workshop [August, 15 • 1-3 pm at Forest Green Branch Library] 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.
