Laia and I gathered around the topic of utopia. We try to bring utopian spaces from the abstract towards the material. How do we create worlds that open up possibilities and bring us to walk new paths in our lives? Can art be a healing process for our scars? Is utopia escapism from reality or a tool for political imagination?
