La Celeste:
Of Earth,
Of Universe,
Of Souls

The tale between earthly beings and their astro counterparts is older than time. Not only are humans an inevitable piece in the vast network that creates this universe, but we also physically contain “star dusts”: microbomes and compounds shared by the celestial bodies quietly drifting above us in the universe.

Alas, humans are magical beings. So let’s feel magical.

In “La Celeste,” aka the celestial (in feminine form), Kansas City-based artists explore humanity’s connection to the greater cosmos at the cusp of the Lunar New Year. Through painting, photography, textile, sculpture, installation, and other media, participating artists will dive into their physical and metaphysical connection to the stars, inquiring upon astrology, astronomy, ecology, history, culture, family, spirituality, identity, and more.
