An innovative LGBTQ+ art project has been sent to the Moon through two unmanned space missions, aiming to promote advocacy. Collaborating with the Interstellar Foundation and Space Pride, aerospace firms launched the artworks recorded on a Nanofiche disk and housed in a 'lifeship Pyramid'. The piece, created by Rania Djojosugito and Khushi Shah, seeks to preserve cultural heritage in space, emphasizing the importance of integrating human culture into explorations beyond Earth and invoking community through art.
As we reach for the stars and planets beyond Earth, it is important to showcase all forms of human culture and connection.
Art is a powerful tool in invoking a sense of community and humanity, a universal way to share messages without language.
The initiative seeks to preserve Earth's cultural and scientific heritage on the Moon by archiving vital data in landing missions.
Blue Ghost Mission 1 marked a significant achievement by becoming the first mission to soft-land on the Moon's surface in 2025.
