In
Spring of 2013, the project will culminate with the laying of one million
handmade bones on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., as a visual petition
against mass atrocities and as a symbol of hope and solidarity with the victims
and survivors. Students and groups across the world are making bones and
gaining an opportunity to discuss not only worldwide humanitarian crises, but
also values, ethics and respect in their own communities. From Austria to
Japan, India to Morocco, and from all over the United States, young people are
discovering the connection they can forge by making something with their hands.
The bones may be made out of a material of your choice (such as clay or paper
mache) and creativity is encouraged – they may be inscribed with messages of
hope, with the individual maker’s name, or in some way made personal.
