Short Description:<\/h3>\nConstructing Utopia is a pedagogical art project within the community of Eleusis. It has gathered artists, pedagogues, and teenagers with the aim to create collective virtual and physical works of art around the themes of utopia and ideal worlds.

\n\nWith the goal of re-examining the city and the participants\u2019 lives in it, the nine workshops of the project \u201cConstructing Utopia\u201d proposed activities that enhance the ability to imagine ideal worlds through performing arts, video games, and sculpture. For the implementation of the project, 18 participants (aged 12 to 17) from the Greek city of Eleusis, who frequent the social center \u201cFiliki Folia\u201d, volunteered to meet with a multidisciplinary team of specialists once a week. During the meetings, the participants formulated basic rules of coexistence, a decision-making system, and architectural models of cohabitation. They also proposed a name for their world: \u201cThe Utopia of Dreams. Our utopia is beautiful, happy, joyful, ideal, and there are dreams in it\u201d.

\n\nThe works realized within the program have a material form (three-dimensional maps, LEGO constructions, collective brainstorming sketches, messages to visitors, etc.). Additionally, during the workshops, the participants modelled their ideal world in the video game Minecraft. Through visual creation along with material works of art, the participants have conceptualized in the Utopia of Dreams a fictional way to talk about freedom and desires.

\n\nThe program Constructing Utopia, conceived by Ioanna Neophytou, was financed by the 2023 ELEVSIS European Capital of Culture. It was designed and implemented in collaboration with the Hellenic Children\u2019s Museum and realized in the facilities of Kentro Agapis Elefsinas \u2013 Filiki Folia.
