“It is now easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine the end of capitalism”.

-Fredric Jameson

A group of diverse group of artists, designers, writers, and curators— representing 6 different European countries, have convened at Verksmidjan Hjalteyri with the purpose of not only imagining a world devoid of capitalistic ideology, but to create a utopic microcosm that seeks to challenge the fundamentals of our current ecocidal consumerist system. Taking the form of an intensive 3 week-long social experiment presented as an art exhibition, the group will live together sharing philosophies, engaging in hikes, performances, and political debates. They will integrate with the local community and source their food through fishing while embracing an ethos of experimentation throughout the residency.

Curators: Joseph Marzolla, Þorbjörg Jónsdóttir
