Utopia
The Right to Hope

The exhibition Utopia. The Right to Hope brings artistic positions together, that in the face of global crises develop specific visions for a more just and sustainable way of living. In addition to a critical examination of utopia itself — with its promise of happiness as well as its totalitarian implications — Utopia focuses on projects that aim to create change on a small scale. The works and objects on display suggest alternative ways of life that seem unattainable from today’s perspective. Art in particular can make pioneering contributions to utopian models of the future. Since the modern era it has critically engaged with social processes through its range of aesthetic and thematic means. This critical stance has always made art a space for utopian thinking.
