“Cosmic Maps” Exhibition & Talk Series (June 17 – July 12)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

836M is excited to partner with The David Rumsey Map Center and Stanford Libraries on Cosmic Maps, an exhibition that transports visitors to outer space. It showcases a curated selection of print and digital maps from the collection spanning modernity to the present day. 

In line with 836M’s 2024 theme “Beyond Frontiers,” which spotlights artists and thinkers whose work transcends physical, cultural, intellectual, or disciplinary boundaries to produce new ideas and experiences, this exhibition is accompanied by a talk series featuring distinguished guest speakers, covering topics ranging from “galactic cannibalism” to interpreting the history of the cosmos through dance.

Among the speakers is Dr. Gregory Mack, a science program officer focusing on astrophysics at The Kavli Foundation, a private foundation based in Los Angeles that supports astrophysics, nanoscience, neuroscience, and theoretical physics research, and Dr. Raja GuhaThakurta, a professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Additional speakers will be announced later this spring, and dates and other details of the speaker series will be posted on this page.
