Utopian Imagination

Utopian Imagination
September 17 – December 7, 2019
The Ford Foundation Gallery, New York, USA

Utopian Imagination brings together the works of 13 diverse artists from around the world to create an anthology of futuristic narratives that inspire hope for our existence on an increasingly imperiled planet. The artworks evoke a sense of wonder and magic through fictional landscapes, transformed bodies, and space and flight as a metaphor for liberation. The artists represent a wide array of lived experiences and identities, including indigenous, LGBTQIA+, and feminist voices.
