Description

If you were given the chance to build a new civilisation on the moon, who and what would you take with you? London-based artist, educator and agitator Nelly Ben Hayoun-Stépanian enlists two doppelgangers to help her on this analog space mission to design a new future that is feminist, queer, and free of all the unwanted -isms. Through interviews with scientists, cultural leaders, activists, artists, filmmakers, economists, astronomers, and an archaeologist-wine-maker, London’s favourite polymath tries to design a moon utopia. Things do not go according to plan, but the journey is extremely entertaining.
