Mars: the Red Mirror, ArtScience Museum, Singapore, 2023-24

The Red Mirror will launch visitors on an out-of-this-world expedition through 12,000 years of culture, art, history, and science about Mars from ancient times to the present day. It is the most comprehensive historical and cultural exhibition on the Red Planet to land in Singapore, featuring over 300 objects, including significant historical artefacts, rare scientific manuscripts, films, contemporary works of art, and even an authentic Martian meteorite. Having been a subject of fascination over millennia, Mars has captured humankind’s imagination like no other planet. Space agencies from around the world are actively exploring Mars, with three active rover missions currently on the planet, and several manned space missions on the horizon. Mars: The Red Mirror reflects the enduring connection humanity has to the Red Planet by bringing together narratives from pioneering scientists, modern day experts, filmmakers, writers, and contemporary artists who have been exploring Mars through time and across diverse cultures.
