1a Artist in Residence Programme

Neil Armstrong is ready to plant the first human foot on another world, with more than half a billion people watching on television.

In a post-flight press conference, Armstrong calls the flight “a beginning of a new age.”

Through a series of conversations and interviews during her residency, Catherine will be undertaking research around key areas of space science, with a particular interest in our closest celestial neighbour.

What is the artists’ role within space exploration? How do/can artists contribute to discussions around the ethics of space exploration; colonisation and ownership of celestial bodies?

What part can we play, as creative practitioners, in these conversations?
