From the Earth to the Stars

6th November 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm GMT

Ben Okri OBE, Nicole Stott and Dr Martin von Hildebrand

In an unmissable evening that promises to be both terrestrial and cosmic, we are thrilled to welcome our YFOS Festival Guest Director Ben Okri OBE alongside two world-leading experts on the climate emergency. Joining Ben in this fascinating conversation is ethnologist and activist for ecological diversity, Dr. Martín von Hildebrand, and retired NASA astronaut and artist Nicole Stott, who was the first person to paint with watercolours in space.

Looking at the climate emergency from new perspectives, we’ll discover how space exploration is crucial to understanding our environment, and what we must do to protect the most endangered ecosystems on the planet.

Journey with us — from the Earth to the stars – for this unique event as we weave together science and art to comprehend the most pressing issues of our times.
