Utopia School 2.9

Utopia School is a literal schoolhouse we're creating to share information about spaces and initiatives that re-imagine the world in some crucial way.

The first session of Utopia School will take place at Flux Factory in October, 2014 and we are seeking collaborators!

Together we will engage and connect local experts in urgent conversations while building something tangible together. The goal of these connections is to help accumulate collective knowledge from one locale to another throughout the duration of this multi-city project, into a comprehensive database and open curricula on utopian thought and practice.

This will include physical places and relationship dynamics involved, as well as systems of organizing, political context, common roadblocks, and the methods used to create and sustain these projects.

For our Fall 2014 Session in New York, Utopia School will be made possible by the Queens-based collective Flux Factory. The school will incorporate a series of theoretical and practical workshops, field trips, screenings, talks and games, and will house a group of dedicated participants, as well as the digital Utopia Library.

We are seeking collaborators who may take on one or more roles including Makers, Builders Artists, Theorists, Writers, Documentarians, Researchers, Archivists, Learners, Remote correspondents, Support Staff, and other roles we may have not yet envisioned.

All proposals for collaboration may be emailed to:

utopiaschool@riseup.net, or newagebeverages@gmail.com

We look forward to hearing from you!
