Welcome to Luna City, a bustling metropolis on the Moon in the year 2175.
Arizona State University (ASU) in Tempe is offering an off-world experience via Emerge – a free art, science and technology festival that explores the future in evocative ways through an annual public event.
Emerge will transform the state-of-the-art Galvin Playhouse on ASU’s Tempe campus into a rich, immersive experience grounded in space-science research and the inspirational vision of the group’s Writer at Large, Kim Stanley Robinson.
Hear, touch and play
According to the Luna City website, come see, hear, touch and play the future in their unfolding story of human habitation beyond Planet Earth!
“Luna City’s singular history and authentic reality is a synthesis of art and space science, your gateway into a complex vision of a human future lived in a place separate from yet intimately connected with our own.”
This immersive experience is available March 17-18.

In this 2018 festival ideas about “habitat” are explored, in the form of an immersive visit to a Moon habitation, Luna City.
The intent of the effort is to curate a set of experiences that create a rich multi-threaded texture of the alien-yet-familiar world of human life
in Luna City in the year 2175, a life in which living in space and on other planets has become commonplace.
For more information on this event, a guided tour of a Luna City neighborhood, as well as a live podcast recording by Eric Molinsky, host of Imaginary Worlds, and a presentation from Writer At Large, Kim Stanley Robinson, go to:
