SUMMARY:Newark Grounds | Cosmic Story Time x Constellation Bench (Featuring Astrophysics for Young People)
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Eirini Linardaki for Cosmic Story Time at the Constellation Bench\, an interactive public sculpture at Mulberry Commons! \nRSVP on Eventbrite. \nNewark Grounds\, presented by PES\, invites you to join artist Erini Linardaki for the second gathering of Cosmic Story Time at Constellation Bench\, the interactive public sculpture located in Mulberry Commons. On June 20 at 1:00 PM\, the series continues with The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry — a timeless story of friendship\, curiosity\, and seeing beyond appearances. Open to all ages\, the afternoon invites families\, neighbors\, and visitors to gather through storytelling\, imagination\, and shared experience. \n– \nSeries Dates & Selection \nMay 30\, 1:00 PM\nMy Two Blankets — Irena Kobald\nA moving story of migration\, friendship\, and finding belonging in a new place. Through poetic text and expressive illustrations\, it follows two children from different backgrounds who build connection across language and experience. \nJune 20\, 1:00 PM\nThe Little Prince — Antoine de Saint-Exupéry\nA poetic tale of travel and encounter that explores love\, loneliness\, friendship\, and the meaning beneath appearances—reminding us that what is essential is invisible to the eye. \nJuly 11\, 1:00 PM\nAstrophysics for Young People in a Hurry — Neil deGrasse Tyson & Gregory Mone\nA child-friendly introduction to the universe\, from the Big Bang to black holes and dark matter\, using clear explanations\, visuals\, and storytelling to make cosmic ideas accessible and engaging.\n– \nAbout the Series \nConstellations are stories humans created to connect distant points of light. In that same spirit\, The Constellation Bench imagines the city as a network of people\, memories\, languages\, and journeys—linked across difference. \nNebulae are places where stars are born from dust and fragments. This gathering extends that idea into public space\, envisioning it as a site where encounters\, stories\, and communities emerge from many small pieces coming together. \nCosmic Story Time is an intergenerational reading and gathering series centered around The Constellation Bench. Families\, seniors\, neighbors\, and visitors are invited to bring books\, stories\, or poems they wish to share. A selection of books chosen by the artist\, aligned with the sculpture’s themes\, will also be available. \nEach session will include short readings\, open conversation\, imaginative exchange\, reflections on cities\, ecology\, and belonging\, and quiet collective moments under the “constellation” of the sculpture. The project encourages community exchange\, informal learning\, and public space as a welcoming environment for all ages.
