You don’t have to believe in anything to be in awe. And you might not think a giant globe hanging in a church would leave you in deep contemplation. But the Terra Exhibit currently installed through November 23rd at Capitol Hill’s St. Mark’s Cathedral is inspiring.
The 24-foot museum-grade Earth globe suspended from the central beam in the cathedral nave can have an other-worldly effect:
Internally-lit, rotating, and lowered by electric hoist, this installation bring viewers into the feeling of what astronauts describe as the “Overview Effect” – a borderless beacon of unity spinning freely in the black void of space. It’s a moving experience for many, and we hope you’ll join us!
St. Mark’s is hosting multiple events around the project from Revival Gathering and Orbis Globes but you can also stop in at any time for a little alone time with earth during “public contemplative hours.”
If a deeper connection to your planet sounds like something you could use, Terra is waiting for you.
The Terra Exhibit will be on display at St. Mark’s Cathedral at 1245 10th Ave E through November 23rd. Learn more at stmarks.org.
