The discourse surrounding space exploration, particularly since 2016 and centered in Silicon Valley, resonates with colonialist narratives. This has tangible repercussions on current political and economic conditions. Can we forge a new anti-colonial language for discussing space, possibly influenced by feminism? Space exploration often revolves around anthropocentric perspectives, where other worlds are portrayed as subjects to human agency. This installation looks into an approach where other worlds possess agency, prompting reflection on recognizing knowledge systems beyond human cosmologies. Endorsed by tech giants, long termism advocates for 'space expansionism' to evade existential risks on Earth. How does this align with emerging space economies and political ideologies?
