‘The core of Utopia is the desire for being otherwise, individually and collectively, subjectively and objectively. Its expressions explore and bring to debate the potential contents and contexts of human flourishing’. – Ruth Levitas

This degree project explores how Utopia can be used as a pedagogical method in art education to help students examine and articulate ideas about the future. Drawing on Utopian studies and inspired by science fiction, the project investigates how speculative futures can create spaces for imagination, reflection and dreams.
