Art to Space / Space to Art with Dr Sarah Jane Pell

Independent artist, commercial diver, explorer and researcher of new worlds.

Award-winning artist Dr Sarah Jane Pell is leading first generation artist-astronaut crews of the commercial spaceflight era. Her pioneering practice seeks to embody, and critique, the culture of exploration from sea, to summit, to space. She performs expressively and builds novel prototype apparatus to test and communicate from the field. Artefacts include sculptural, technical, poetic and media events. Dr Pell is an Astronaut Candidate for a suborbital aeronomy mission, an experienced Simulation Astronaut for undersea trials, and imagineer for a MoonVillage. Her work promotes physical conditioning, creative visualisation and communication.

At this meeting, Dr Pell will provide an overview of her numerous projects and interests, past, present and those upcoming.

The meeting will be streamed live here!
