Opening: MARS!

What if we didn’t leave Mars settlement to the ultra-wealthy, but instead approached it as a collective, democratic project? What would we do if we could start over?

In 2026, we travel to Mars together to save Earth. The concept exhibition MARS! presents the outcomes and ideas developed in five prototype workshops, showing that the requirements for settling Mars and those for living on a climate-altered Earth are not so far apart. The exhibition features five prototypes created in collaboration with citizen scientists from the Red Dust Society, focusing on habitat, mental health, food, governance, and resource management. Visitors are invited to actively shape the exhibition and contribute their own ideas – because all the skills we need for a democratic Mars settlement are equally essential here on Earth to build resilient societies.

We warmly invite you to the opening!
