About this Event

Collective Future (Eric Holdener and Ronni Kimm)—in collaboration with Henry Fisher and Anna Rose Hopkins of Hank and Bean, Vera Mulyani of Mars City Design, and Kerenza Harris of SCIArc—invites you to participate in a speculative dinner to explore the future of food and agriculture on Mars.

Human habitants could arrive on Mars as early as 2030, building a new civilization with radically different values and constraints as those on its twin planet, Earth. This speculative meal offers a provocative challenge for our near future of Mars exploration as not only a scientific expedition, but also as a second home for humans.

The dinner is an opportunity to experience what life as a new citizen of a Mars city could look like, through the lens of food. Throughout the evening, guests will have the chance to interact with agricultural processes, a Martian pantry, and the roles they may take on in Mars, while exploring enduring memories related to food, and the way new cultures and rituals form.

Our chefs will invite guests into their process, offering a peak into Mars-grown produce and zero-waste livestock—all while introducing Martian "first foods”. Diners will then be invited to enjoy a rolling family-style meal, exploring courses created with Martian staples, as well as new rituals around dining in a Mars city.

Guests are encouraged to bring a recipe of their favorite meal to explore how it might evolve on Mars, as well as a bottle of wine (optional). After registration, please anticipate further communication about your upcoming trip to Mars.

Please note that tickets purchased here are for the Infinite Dimensions speculative dinner only. Seating is limited, and tickets are going quickly, so reserve your spot for dinner on Mars City asap!
