Workshop & Installation
Come Create With Us on the Ave
Fold your own origami crane and join our collaborative masterpiece. Your unique creation contributes to an installation that celebrates shared imagination and unity.
This installation draws inspiration from the heartwarming and poignant story of Sadako Sasaki, a remarkable survivor of the Hiroshima atomic bombing. Sadako faced the long-term effects of radiation with courage and grace, but her indomitable spirit truly shone when she embarked on a mission to fold 1000 paper cranes. In her unwavering belief, she held that this act would grant her a wish and, ultimately, bring healing to her and to the world.
Sadako's journey became a symbol of resilience, hope, and the boundless capacity of the human spirit to overcome even the darkest of times. Her story sparked the Peace Crane movement, where people from across the globe joined together to fold thousands of cranes as a plea for peace.
Today, the origami crane has transcended boundaries, becoming a universal symbol of peace, hope, and unity. It represents the collective desire for a world where conflicts are resolved peacefully and where harmony prevails.
By participating in this installation, you're not only crafting a crane but also becoming a part of a timeless narrative that symbolizes the beauty of shared dreams and the strength of our shared human experience.
