One Million Stars Texas
is part of the global star weaving project One Billion 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, 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 the craft of star weaving.

“Building community connections and creating a safe sense of belonging is the heart of our star weaving movement. Every time a person weaves a star, they are making a small but active stance against violence. Weaving stars helps us to feel less alone, less overwhelmed by the enormity of violence and more confident to face the next step.” Maryann Talia Pau

Weaving Stars for Violence Free Communities

The One Million Stars project acknowledges the traditional owners and continuing custodians of the lands and waters where we weave, live, work and play. We give our respect to elders past, present and emerging. In Austin, Texas, we are on the ancestral territory of Tonkawa, Comanche, Lipan-Apache, Karankawa, and Coahuiltecan people.
