Talk
Louise Charlier | PhD candidate in Arts and Art Sciences (La Cambre · ULB)
Whilst we are experiencing major ecological, political and social crises, the space conquest continues to be presented as a promise of progress and a solution to ‘come to the aid of humanity’. In the face of these hegemonic narratives of the future, artists from various futurist movements are imagining alternative ways of inhabiting the cosmos and the Earth. Louise Charlier examines these narratives and the way in which they shift dominant imaginaries to open up other possible futures.
Louise Charlier is a Belgian artist and researcher. A PhD candidate in Arts and Art Sciences in Brussels (La Cambre and ULB), her work focuses on the cosmos, her field of experimentation at the intersection of art, science and fiction. In 2019, she founded Roscosmic, a fictional and speculative space agency that operates across the mediums of installation, performance, video and writing.
