Event Details

The Feminist Maker Space is committed to creating an inclusive creative space in which maker culture is situated in relation to a long and diverse history of craft and communal work. We are additionally committed to learning from the past and from one another. Our theme for Fall 2022 is "technologies of knowing." Join us as we explore different ways to create and disseminate knowledge - through our bodies, words, the stars, and more.
 
Our next workshop is on Thursday, October 20, 12 p.m. - 1 p.m., in ATC 1.801b and Online: Oh My Stars! Vedic Astrology, led by ATEC PhD student Nishanshi Shukla and UTD Alumnus Jayraj Devi. In keeping with the Feminist Maker Space emphasis on community and care, face masks are encouraged and appreciated in the in-person section of the workshop.
 
About the workshop:

The field of vedic astrology is based in the logic of karma and stems from understanding of the mathematical, scientific, behavioral, social and formative impact of the energies of the universal bodies surrounding us according to ancient Indian texts. This workshop draws on basic elements of Vedic Astrology like making a birth chart and identifying one’s sun sign, moon sign, nakshatra, and ascendant while discussing what it means and how it matters. It aims to decolonize the public understanding of astrology and critically examine various complex societal divides surrounding astrology at various global (west v/s east) and local (caste system within India) levels.

We request the participants to come prepared with the knowledge of their birth date (mm/dd/yyyy), birth time (hh:mm) and birth place in order to work on their birth charts.
