Light Years
Light Years is a 3-year programme of dynamic art-science collaborations that celebrates the 1,200 year history of space science in County Durham, shines a spotlight on worldclass research and innovation in next generation spacetech, and invites the public to explore the really big questions of the universe.
Light Years will create exhibitions of artistic responses to dark cosmic phenomena, experiential family festivals about spacesuits and Mars bases, campfire conversations under dark skies and an immersive rave installation asking ‘are we alone in the cosmos?’
