FreeBeyond the Stars: Imagining Outer Space
At the heart of recent works by Larry Buttrose and David Dyer is a deep and irrevocable respect for that which we don’t fully understand. Whether reimagining the 1969 space landing or speculating about post-colonisation life on Mars, each author has drawn on research and creative license to blend what we know about space and the stars, with what remains a mystery. They speak with Katharine Pollock about outer-space imaginings.
This event is free; no bookings required.
