In preparation of the Utopian Bingo Game that we developed during our residency at SPACE, we (YKON) interviewed a number of London based intitiatives to map current Practical Utopias. During the first game night we built a tent sauna—a midsummer night’s dream.

On Practical UtopiaThe term “Practical Utopia” reflects the desire for large scale changes to the current system of society by initiating the first practical steps towards such changes right here and now. “Practical Utopia” insists on the necessity of Utopia as an intellectual concept interlinking the fantastical and the pragmatic in bringing about social, political and artistic change.
