Summary:

"This...illustrated book brings together a range of international artists and art theorists to explore and create practices ignited by a utopian impulse. Grounded in the idea that utopian imaginations are needed to organise society differently, the book explores how art practice engaged in the present can give light to necessarily incomplete alternative futures."--Back cover.
