MISSION PROXIMA CENTAURI B
An extraterrestrial art project (by artistas, a cooperation with marisa maza) in cooperation with Ellen Key Schule, youth club Alte Feuerwache, Bürgerkomitee Weberwiese and others.
Supported by the Berlin Cultural Education Project Fund, 2017
The recent discovery of the planet PROXIMA CENTAURI B, an exoplanet that is said to have life like on Earth, is the reason for our mission, the exploration of (extra)terrestrial culture by children and young people. In a new age of flight, the interdisciplinary and transcultural project opens up an artistic examination of cultural identity and its attributions to the participants. We understand the terrestrial, i.e. the human, as something that connects us without ignoring cultural differences. In workshop units, we use a wide variety of media and techniques to pursue our artistic research into our own culture and develop ‘objects’ that represent our newly emerging culture. Whether and which sculptures there might be on PROXIMA CENTAURI B?
