Can art change the world? And is origami art? My answer to both questions is yes. While art won't solve all of the problems in the world it can make a difference. Often one viewer at a time. If you fold origami you have an opportunity to contribute to the way people perceive origami and the way it can be used to reach out to the community around you and beyond. This episode is about a trio of mobiles I made in 2017 that crossed over to an informative space my origami had never occupied before. The experience transformed my perception of the origami I make from beautiful things to something that could be speak loudly and connect and resonate with people in ways I'd never imagined.

There are links to many of the historical points I share and photos of some of the things I talk about including the origami mobiles I made and the photo of my family held in the internment camp at Heart Mountain, WY. There's also a photo of Heart Mountain and the barracks in winter. Both are from my family's archive.

There is a photo of the interior of one of the barracks and a map of the exclusion area as well as the location of the 10 internment camps located in the United States.
