This proposed course “NO UTOPIA: Artivism and collective action today” looks for the meanings and territories of current socio political issues, urban struggles with a focus of artistic interventions. We will focus on visiting and exchanging dialogues with different artivist groups in Berlin as well as planning small interventions within the possible urban spaces in the city.

The topic “Utopia” is a speculative term: it can be approached from several perspectives such as speculative design, activism, alternative futures and myth making. This proposed course “NO UTOPIA: Artivism and collective action today” looks for the meanings and territories of current socio political issues, urban struggles with a focus of artistic interventions.

This course will have a theoretical base on current readings and discussion on the topic of collective action and utopia and will focus on visiting and exchanging dialogues with different artivist groups in Berlin as well as planning small interventions within the possible urban spaces in the city.
