Are we humans alone in the cosmos? Does it matter? And could our space dreams still come true?

In an evening of scientific insights and artistic dreams, we will be joined by astronomer and dark matter researcher Alan Duffy, performer/composer Sophia Brous and sound artist and researcher Joel Stern who will perform (Space) Dream Triptych. Whether you see human existence as singular and exceptional, or as an ephemeral blip in a great void, the question of our role in the Universe is an enduring philosophical mystery. Looking into the depths of space, thinking about the great sweep of cosmic time and delving into the unconscious promises a dizzying ride towards our horizons of philosophical meaning.

This event will be hosted by Brigid Hains, editorial director and co-founder of Aeon media.
