Should we pack our prejudices and exploitation into our interstellar journeys?
In short: As humanity prepares to settle on Mars and beyond, Jorge Mañes Rubio explores the essential cargo for space exploration. This video examines whether we should bring our cultural practices or leave our darkest human traits behind.
Drawing on his experience as an artist-in-residence at the European Space Agency, Jorge Mañes Rubio proposes a reimagining of future space travel. He suggests that instead of merely focusing on technical requirements, we must consider the cultural and ritualistic elements of human existence.
By blending science, art, and ritual, Mañes Rubio envisions a future that moves beyond the patterns of prejudice and exploitation that define much of human history on Earth.
