It has already been a week since the Zone d’Utopie Temporaire (Z.U.T.) summer residency started at The Hive. The residency stands as a social and creative experiment whereby a group of selected artists accept the challenge of working together for three weeks to create a Temporary Utopian Zone. 

Here’s a visual summary of what’s been going on so far.

On Tuesday our two theorists from Goldsmiths University, Lowri Evans (specialising in Anthropology) and Hannah Corrie (specialising in Psychology) presented to the nine participating artists on the history of Utopia.
