Reclaiming Our Sky: A Tale of Immersive Survival
with artist in attendance
April 20 | 3:15 pm MT | Fiske Planetarium
“The Earth is squeezing us…
Where should the birds fly after the last sky?”
- Mahmoud Darwish
Join us at Fiske Planetarium for an immersive experience that reclaims the sky as a space of witnessing, memory, return, and survival.
This live, multi-dimensional show weaves together performance, real-time livestreams of Gaza’s night sky, and 360-degree visual storytelling. Through imagined skies and embodied realities, the experience traces fragments of life before and after genocide, holding space for loss, resilience, and imagination.
Under the dome, the buzzing of drones dissipates, and the sky is reclaimed as a source of hope rather than horror. Under the same moon, I reflect on one of the darkest moments in modern history. Under the same sky, I imagine a liberated Gaza to survive the ongoing brutal presence.
This is not only a show, but a collective act of remembrance, survival, and reclamation.
This event is created by doctoral candidate Naim Aburaddi as part of his PhD Dissertation project.
