A "sarau" is a gathering where people meet and share a variety of cultural and artistic expressions, including stories, music, poems and more. Tonight, we will borrow this typical Brazilian concept and extend it to outer space.
A group of astrophysics researchers will share their stories about studying stars, galaxies and the Universe as a whole, while musicians and other artists will take these stories as inspiration for their creations.
A multi-sensorial experience around the quest for our cosmic origins – not to be missed!
