Utopia
Coined by the English writer Thomas More, “Utopia” is a Greek neologism which usually refers to a non-existent or unattainable ideal.
At a time of climate change and environmental challenges, Utopia will explore the ties linking humankind and the living world.
Rather than perpetuating today’s anthropocentric worldview, Utopia will propose visions from artists, inventors, designers and scientists who question the hierarchy between people and nature. The programme also includes architectural utopias, innovations relating to nature and the folklore of the forest.
As is the case for every major event of this kind, Utopia seeks to reach local residents, even as they go about their daily lives, with ambitious projects, exhibitions, urban transformations, live shows, original events and conferences, etc.
