About
For millennia, cultures around the world have told strikingly similar stories about a small group of stars in the night sky being seven sisters. Whether known as Pleaides, Subaru, Karatgurk, Dilγéhé, Makali'i, or countless other names, this constellation has held deep spiritual and mythological significance for peoples around the world, with some centering their calendar around its rising. The Seven Sisters is a three-dimensional model of this star cluster, allowing participants to see a familiar constellation from new perspectives and learn about the convergent myths told about it.
