From Hubei to New York—Crisis and Utopian Response Program Registration

Join us for an online presentation by the Hubei-based artist and writer Ou Ning on his current research project “Utopian Field,” which examines experiments in communitarianism that developed in diverse corners of the world from 19th century through the present. In addition to sharing examples from his field work into rural reconstruction projects, hippie communes, and countryside art projects around the globe, Ou Ning will also explore how these communities responded to past crises, such as the Panic of 1837, WWI, and the 1929 Great Depression.

Following the lecture, curator Xiaoyu Weng will join Ou Ning in conversation about their own experiences during lockdown in Hubei, China and New York, U.S.A respectively, and consider what we can learn from the historical examples offered by the utopianists and how these lessons might apply to our current global situation.
