What is Catasterismi and how do you pronounce it?
Cat-ass-ter-is-me (which stems from the word Catasterism) simply means:
' 'A placing among the stars'
As we interpret it, this is the method by which the constellations were placed in the sky. Their stories immortalized to remind all of us who look up into them that we are not alone. We can learn from the trials and tribulations from those who have come before us, and learn from the universality of their fatal flaws.
And this is how we create.
We begin from a place of universal understanding and bring in issues that are too often misinterpreted.
Suicide, Depression, Prejudice, Distorted Self Esteem and many other issues surrounding Mental Illness
are what we have tapped into so far, and we are still continuously expanding our field of vision.
Another special part of the Catasterismi creation process is that we not only start from the truth that lies within myths and classic literature, but we also start from the true stories of the people that surround us. All of our stories begin with one-on-one interviews with either people from within our collective, friends, family, or people we meet all around us.
We believe in the power of the truth to transform, heal and discover the beauty in the everyday world.
