PAPER KITES FOR PALESTINE
Help fold and decorate over 12, 000 paper kites in 12 hours
SATURDAY 23rd of MARCH from 9 am to 9pm @ Catalyst Social Centre
144 - 146 Sydney Road Coburg
FREE and WELCOME TO ALL Catered event with Iftar for Ramadan.
In 2011, the children of Gaza flew 12, 350 kites breaking the world record for most kites flown at one time. We will be folding 12,000 paper kites within 12 hours to honour this achievement and to create a visual representation of the devasting number of children killed, which have now exceeded that number.
Once completed, the kites themselves will be exhibited and used for future actions, creating powerful visual displays that emphasise the humanity of the Palestinian people, specifically children, who have been killed in such catastrophic numbers.
Come to Catalyst Social Centre where we will provide food*, entertainment, and craft supplies or tune in to our livestream and fold your own kites at home.
Family - friendly event
