In addition to wars, global refugee movements, and an expanding loss of trust in democracies, it is above all the man-made climate catastrophe that dominates the thoughts and actions of many. Beyond cynicism and doom and gloom, however, it should be possible to live together in solidarity and community as the basis for civilizational and ecological survival. In the first two decades of the 21st century in particular, it is primarily artists who take up such ideas in their works and advance the discourse on possible utopias.
The exhibition and publication project Utopia. Recht auf Hoffnung, initiated by the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, aims to send a message of hope and confidence that a better and more just life for everyone on this planet is possible. It is not about a new grand design for the world, but rather about a multitude of micro-utopias that, taken together, can bring about something positive. Utopia therefore focuses primarily on artistic works, but also includes architectural designs, design objects, and examples from the applied arts that present utopian projects or ideas within various media. Mischa Kuball is represented in the exhibition by a reproduction of his 2021 work DYS(U)TOPIA.
