Conversations | Building utopias: What do we dream of?


More than 20 years after the first iteration of Hans Ulrich Obrist’s ‘Utopia Station’ curatorial project at the 2003 Venice Biennale, and to celebrate 20 years of Art Basel’s Conversations sector in its current form, we look at the long-considered notion of utopia with fresh eyes and minds. What could ‘utopia’ mean to us now? To mark this milestone edition of Conversations, Obrist and guests consider the various futures that could emerge from our fast-changing present. This interdisciplinary panel speculates on innovative worldbuilding – through art, technology, in the built environment, in our lives, and in our minds.
