Participation in Utopia Fair at Somerset House
AHRC Utopia Fair
24-26 June 2016 Friday: 17.00-22.00; Saturday: 10:00-18.00; Sunday: 10.00-17.00 Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court, Somerset House Free admission Prototyping Utopias is one of 25 projects funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and the Connected Communities programme, in order to participate in the Utopia Fair. These projects work to bring together local community groups, researchers, activists and artists across the UK to explore how utopian ideals can be used to benefit the environmental and social future of our communities. At the Utopia Fair we will share the voices, stories, artefacts, drawings, models and prototypes created through the project activities in Bow, and we will invite the public to reflect on those visions and dream about the future of their own places using similar materials.
