Deep Dive Thursday: Life beyond the Earth’s horizon

In view of the climate crisis, the question arises again and again whether other planets, such as Mars, can offer humans a new home. Artistic positions in the exhibition see space less as a place of settlement and more as a space of possibility to try out alternate forms of society. But what do concrete considerations for life on Mars look like? Under what circumstances is life possible there and are concepts for space able to help us here on Earth as well?
