The decade has begun in unprecedented chaos. For some the age old zodiac has become a light-hearted crutch; for others a new religion. Who hasn’t witnessed a fellow millennial “ironically” consulting their star-chart in an attempt to make sense of everything from their careers to the fate of the planet? But seemingly kitsch appreciation for horoscopes aside, what do millennials really think about the stars in the sky?
Twelve new short works presented in experiential digital formats, where each writer is of a different sun sign. Come to see the elements, or experience all twelve for a true understanding of the zodiac.
