Space, Multiple Voices/
https://www.olats.org/global-periphery
*Friday Sept 23rd - Saturday Sept 24th 2022*

/Global Periphery/: a symposium and performance exploring
contemporary imaginaries of outer space through examples of
artistic creations and of space activities with voices from
multiple continents and locations.
The current space competition —business, research,
activities of all kinds— is world wide but the dominant
narrative still comes from the USA. The space iconography is
strongly NASA/Hollywood-driven.
What are the other narratives?
Who are the "others's voices"?
What do they say?
What can be said?
The /Global Periphery/ event intends to contribute to give
voice to some of those other voices, to work together, to
hybridized, to raise questions.
/Global Periphery/deals with the contemporary imaginaries of
outer space, the existing ones, through examples,
experiences and activities of both artists and cultural
players on the one hand and engineers, scientists and the
space sector on the other.
