Let us embark on a celestial journey as we unveil the mysterious role of artists - stark in the midst of the deeptech space industry. From the mystical musings of ancient stargazers to the visionary creations of modern dreamers, artists have always been involved in rocket science. This talk aims to highlight some of the timeless contributions of artists to space exploration and ponder upon the future where art and technology would continue to meld to transcend the boundaries of our knowledge of the universe.

Status quo? What's that? Dr. Priyanka Das Rajkakati is an Indian-born French space scientist and artist, focused on actionable sustainability practices in the space industry for the benefit of society. Her work has drawn inspiration from her Assamese roots and her (invited) voyages to all 7 continents, including Antarctica. Two of her demonstrative art-tech projects have even been to space (with Moon Gallery to ISS and with LunARC Gallery to the Moon onboard Firefly's Blue Ghost I). She has numerous recognitions such as Forbes India 30under30, L'Oréal Woman of Worth, Karman Fellow, India Today Next 100 Innovators and France Alumni Ambassador.
