After a year of isolation, disillusionment, fear and anxiety, the image of a Utopia seems more fantastical than ever, but equally compelling. The animal species that have never been seen before, smells that haven’t been smelled and sounds that haven’t been heard. A possible future for our world where everyone is safe, the abstract positive emotion that can stem from only visualising one’s personal Utopia, and thus questioning if there is need for a Utopia as a physical site, and what that would mean and look like.

Where can our internal Utopias be externalised, embraced and witnessed? A student art show is probably a good start. Each individual decides what their Utopia looks like, as have Harriet Placey, Joss TS, Julieth Maurad, Melanie Woodward, Sophie Hale, and Var Baenadikta Samuelsen.
