‘The Utopian Impulse’ invites audiences to rediscover their psychic connection to nature and to experience alternative consciousness through creativity. This exhibition challenges the notion of utopia as a distant dream, suggesting instead that paradise is accessible here and now.
The perennial positioning of utopia in the forever delayed future or on some distant unreachable shore is a false narrative that helps to manufacture consent. An aim of the project is to help us wake up from this false consciousness and see, that we’ve always been here in time and space, indivisibly here, utopia is here and now.
