“The sky is the limit,” we say. But is it really? What is it like to see beyond the scope of our own horizons?
What is “free” comes in many flavors. Free to come, free to go. Free to love, free to deliciously inhabit our own skin, free to try on all the possible versions of ourselves. āFree,ā as in not charging a single cent. Free to speak truth to power. Free to say no to whatās on offer. However, to be free to ā to dream, to create, to imagine ā requires freedom “from.” To be free from want and fear, to be free from censoring forces, to be free from oppression. To strive for true freedom is to honor our obligations to each other, to fight for our mutual liberation. When someone is free to achieve their fullest creative expression, they become a beacon for all of us. How will you make space for your own flourishing and that of others, so that the world around you might also bend towards freedom?
About the speaker
We are back at the DMNS for January, which makes for two months in a row! This time, we get to venture into the Planetarium where we explore the worldwide theme of "FREE," and we explore the universe by taking a ride into the stars with Dr. Ka Chun Yu.
This event is going to be so cool! The DMNS Planetarium is a special place to find inspiration and wisdom and we are excited to learn from Dr. Yu.
Dr. Yu joined the Museum as part of a team tasked with creating planetarium software to visualize the known universe. He has produced movies and live presentations including Earth systems programs for the digital dome and continued to create new planetarium visualizations and other educational content. He has conducted educational research to study the use of digital planetariums for astronomy education. Ka Chunās astronomical research is in observational star formation, looking at outflows from protostars and studying the properties of young stellar clusters. He has been involved in observing programs with the Hubble Space Telescope, as well as ground-based optical, infrared, and radio observatories around the world.
