Music of the Spheres
This event is no longer on sale.
Our ancestors believed that the movements of celestial bodies were a form of music. Dr. Wanda Diaz-Merced, a blind astrophysicist from Puerto Rico, studies the universe through sound and carries on this ancient tradition.
Following the screening of the short film, Kohl Threkeld will discuss the making of the film with Dr. Diaz-Merced. The evening will continue with Diaz-Merced explaining the nature of her work and a discussion with Houstonian Michael McCulloch about data accessibility for the vision impaired.
