Hertzlab is heading to Mars! 

How will a future society work together in a hostile environment? Join the members of the Red Dust Society and take part in the general assembly of all current Martians. Share your ideas on how best to shape communal life on Mars. Help design laws, organizational structures, terms, and symbols that you would like to use in a society on Mars. Is Athenian democracy, a “benevolent” scientific dictatorship, anarchism, or something entirely different the answer? Find out.

You will be guided and supported throughout the development process by four knowledgeable members of the organization Generationen.Dialog.Zukunft. e. V.. The association is a network of experts and brings together multidisciplinary expertise and diverse experience in communication, process design, and citizen participation.

The event will take place at Lichthof 9, first floor. Access is via the exhibition THE SCREEN.
