You are warmly invited to the opening of the exhibition EX TERRA by Slovenian photographer and researcher Matjaž Tančič!
EX TERRA
The Ex Terra project is an extensive photographic and research endeavor that, through a seven-year journey across four continents — from the USA and Europe to Africa and Asia — documents people and communities whose work and vision shape the global ambition of space exploration. The project reveals how smaller countries and communities, long overlooked, are becoming key protagonists in the space narrative — through scientific innovation, technological contributions, and transnational research networks that fundamentally reshape the architecture of contemporary space exploration.
Focusing on the human dimension of these efforts, Ex Terra tells the stories of space architects, doctors, scientists, food producers, and others who are shaping our future beyond Earth, while also revealing how space innovations are already transforming life on our planet. Space is not merely a technical challenge, but an ideological and cultural field in which our hopes, fears, and social structures are reflected. This is a testimony to creativity, resilience, and the collective power of humanity — a document of a future we are not merely discovering, but actively co-creating.
The exhibition is supported by the Ministry of Economy, Tourism and Sport.
