Can we still hope in the face of gloomy future scenarios? Does utopia still make sense in a world obsessively modeled by algorithms? Much of what we take for granted today, not least the continent, form of government and nations in which we live, is the product of a dream. A figment of the imagination that once crossed the boundaries of what was conceivable and feasible and (who would have thought it back then!) has become reality. Thinking in utopias has to do with self-empowerment and with one of the most amazing human abilities: the ability to dream dreams together.
And that’s what we want to do: In the final stage of our trilogy In Principle of Hope, we set off, like some utopians before us, on a boat trip in search of the island of Utopia, on the waters of the Spree and along the skyline of our city. We will be accompanied by prominent guests: the widely traveled and award-winning author and passionate utopian Ilija Trojanow from Vienna, the Berlin activist and advocate of “radical politeness” Paulina Fröhlich, the Leipzig journalist and utopia researcher Greta Taubert and the Berlin music utopians of the collective “Selbstgebaute Musik”.
And yes: we find an “Island Utopia” (as in the early novels) and go ashore here! Our excursion is divided into three groups, which we choose according to our interests. In this way, we get to dream, think, build and make music in special places, guided by our tour guides. Back on the ship, we will gather the harvest of our excursions and visions.
