Does an American community actually exist? If so, who is out there in it? In this interactive talk, Katie invites us to discover the story of the Milton Constellation. The constellations we see at night are imaginary entities, constructed to give meaning and order to the vastness of the night sky. They provide us with direction and make immensity graspable. How might the Milton Constellation guide us all through the vast landscape of 'being American'? Join us and find out.
