Abstract

This project aims to build media and imagery spaces that provide scientific, artistic and cultural reflections on how we see "The sky above us" and how different perspectives impact our lives. We will explore the sky as a confluence of knowledge, considering different perspectives and worldviews to inform and excite the audience about science and the natural world. The format to be chosen will have elements of non-fiction narrative reporting, personal narrative and performance (interpretation of songs and literary excerpts by actors).
