In 2024, Cozzzmonautica imagined the desert as both planetary landscape and science-fiction metaphor — a space of alienation and survival, but also kinship, speculation, and resistance. From Martian migration myths and techno-forgotten fibers to interplanetary weddings, cosmic slime molds, and textile restoration through mold and moths, the program traversed speculative timelines and ecosystems, guided by invited artists and researchers including Xueting C. Ni, Silvia Casolari & Davide Monopoli (MUFANT), Alexandru Evanghelidis, Maria Dębińska, waka_x, Dinu Bodiciu, and others.
The event was hosted at Indecis artist-run space, transforming it into a temporary desert observatory and communal caravanserai, with presentations, screenings, workshops for kids and adults, and a late-night live rescoring of Chronopolis.
I was responsible for all communication around the festival — translating its speculative and playful identity into public-facing formats across press, social media, Meta Ads, newsletters, and website updates.
