Campus community invited to ‘One Million Bones’ on Thursday
The university invites the campus community to “One Million Bones,” a large-scale national social arts project organized to raise awareness of genocides and mass atrocities going on in the world, this Thursday, Jan. 24, in the Ron Gregory (EHS) Atrium.
The event, scheduled from 6 to 9 p.m., calls for participants to create bones of clay that will be part of a collaborative installation of 1 million bones on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., June 8-10. For every bone created, $1 is being donated to the humanitarian group CARE International for the organization’s work in Somalia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
George Fox’s Center for Peace and Justice and Center for Global Studies are co-sponsoring the event on campus, and the art department is kiln-firing all the bones created. There is no charge to participate, and clay will be provided.
