One Million Stars Texas
One Million Stars Texas, facilitated by Batik by Design artist Melissa Knight, is part of the global star weaving project One Billon Stars (formerly The One Million Stars to End Violence Project).Created by weaving artist Maryann Talia Pau in Australia (2012), One Billion Stars is an international weaving project that invites communities around the world to weave these symbols of light, hope, courage and solidarity to end all forms of violence. This project aims to build community connections and a positive impact on local issues of violence using a traditional Indigenous/Pasifika weaving craft: star weaving.
