“Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.” —Robert F. Kennedy

Join us on the Museum’s plaza for an original performance experience in celebration of the upcoming International Day of Peace. Inspired by Henry Richardson’s sculpture Reflections on Unity, this movement piece explores how we connect and reconnect with others in our effort to move toward peace.

Presented in partnership with Asheville School.

11AM  Art-making: Make your own origami crane, a symbol of hope and healing, and share the peace with others.

12PM  Performance: Original student poetry and collaborative movement piece directed by Kathy Leiner, with dancers from Asheville School, Asheville Contemporary Dance Theater, and the New Studio of Dance.
