In conjunction with the exhibit “This Loss We Carry: The Soul Box Project,” join us in creating these hand-folded origami boxes. Every Soul Box holds a space for a single life. Each one represents a victim of gunfire in the U.S. The very act of folding can provide solace to a person experiencing trauma from gunfire incidents. Folding a Soul Box is a non-confrontational, nonpartisan way to express outrage or frustration, hope, and love. Soul Boxes honor victims and help heal grieving hearts.
This program is offered in partnership with the Shawn Moss Wellness and Growth Foundation. The organization is committed to uplifting and educating to reduce the negative impact of gun violence in our communities.
