What is the Cosmos? Constellation Exhibition

In recognition of the work students have done throughout the year in the What is the Cosmos? Constellation, we will be hosting an exhibition on Friday, April 17, 2:00-4:00 in The Holsti-Anderson Family Assembly with a reception to follow on the patio outside. Students will be contributing items, descriptions, and labels related to our knowledge of premodern literatures, observations, and objects, and the installation in Perkins will be public until graduation weekend. Across the fall and spring semesters, these first-year students explored the vast expanse we call the cosmos. Through a multidisciplinary approach from classes in physics, history, energy, writing, art history, and religious studies, students studied the shape of time and the nature of space and asked whether the cosmos can be adequality represented and what is the place of the human in contemplating its purpose and harnessing its energies. Please join us as we reflect critically upon what has been imagined about worlds, the world, and our connection to it all.
