U-TOPIA: Good Place or No Place?
Join our international, interdisciplinary research & artistic intervention project across Brussels and Brijuni/Pula
U-TOPIA is an international, interdisciplinary project spanning two years (2027–2028) that explores how systems of governance, spatial design, and social engineering attempt to construct an ideal order, and why these attempts fluctuate between a functional Good Place (Eu-topia) and an unworkable No Place (Ou-topia).
Call for Expressions of Interest Open | Application deadline: 27 November 2026
