Check out this short video inspired by origami workshops being held around town as part of the Charleston Peace Crane Project. It’s part of a collaborative public art effort to create and display 1,000 or more origami cranes to promote a peaceful resolution to conflict and to the Iraq war. The video was filmed during a Charleston Catholic High School class taught by art teacher and occasional ArtAttack art blogger Rebecca Burch (whose amusingly named ‘Carpe You Some Diem’ blog can be found here). The song scoring the birth of this particular crane is “The Littlest Birds” by the The Be Good Tanyas, who just performed in Charleston on Sunday’s “Mountain Stage” at the Cultural Center Theater.
