Finding Our Place In Space

HD Video, Color, Sound, Full Length: 11 minutes, 

In 1975 NASA sent two rovers (Viking I and II) to Mars to survey the planet's surface and search for life. During the same year a group of women in the Pacific Northwest formed what became known as the Oregon's Women's Land Trust. Land purchased by the OWL Trust became the site of separatist women's land where women from varied backgrounds developed new modes of self-sufficient, rural, communal living. Finding Our Place in Space complicates these historic, gendered, technophobic and technophiliac narratives by combining documentary notes, text and images from these momentous events.
