Universe: A Broadside Portfolio (Vol. 2 No. 12)

$29.00

In the era of GPS, we think we know where we are. Yet, the system often fails us—stories abound of GPS leading people the wrong way. We think of our location as a binary: we know where we are or we don’t. Before the invention of GPS, location was considered a spectrum. People knew generally, rather than specifically, where they were. We have made great strides in physically orienting ourselves in the world, and in the broader solar system, but this is only part of the larger issue of belonging.

Knowing where we are is not the same as knowing where we should be. Such questions have been addressed by philosophers and theologians from time immemorial. In recognition of their work, we present this survey of thoughts on our place in the universe.

All broadside leaflets are hand crafted and letterpress printed on archival stock. From recipes to poetry, prose, and quotations, Thornwillow broadsides put literature in your pocket.
