Alongside ambitious promises of infinite resources, techno-utopian visions of futuristic space settlements, and neo-colonial ambitions of outer-planetary land grabs, space—and the Moon in particular—has become the latest resource frontier. It has also emerged as a field for the political renegotiation of human life beyond Earth, from the conditions of human labor to the racialized and gendered histories of bodily standards.

Off-Earth is a collaboration between e-flux Architecture and the Luxembourg Center for Architecture (LUCA) and supported by the Luxembourg Ministry of Culture following “Down to Earth,” the Luxembourg Pavilion at the 2023 Venice Architecture Biennale, curated by Francelle Cane and Marija Marić.
