Space Spells (2021)

As engineers and researchers reach for the stars – does democracy stay grounded?
In May 2021, Space Spells & LitUp! want to put the spotlights on democracy in space. Join us for free and under the open sky for inputs, discussions, and a guided creative writing experience on democracy in space –

Let’s engage in the spells of space, write & read our own space spells!
