PONTE DE LIMA / Portugal - The Peace Garden, A Garden for Peace
FOLDING PEACE
The contribution by Herm van der Linden, Julia Wurm and Norbert Nozdrovicky is inspired by the story of the young girl Sadako Sasaki, who fell ill with leukaemia after the atomic bomb explosion in Hiroshima and folded over 1,000 origami cranes in order to get well. Visitors can fold their own origami cranes at four stations and place them on wave-shaped sculptures or in the centre of the garden to set a sign for peace. The garden is designed with aromatic plants and multi-stemmed birch trees that create a calm and peaceful atmosphere and offers a bench to rest on.
The garden will be built in spring 2025 and will be open to visitors from the end of May to the end of October 2025 in Ponte de Lima / Portugal.
