The exhibition “Utopia 404” portrays an ideal city that ought to be filled with peace, yet is lost amidst war and violence. Utopia symbolizes an ideal world, a place where peace, justice, and coexistence are not merely a distant dream, but a tangible reality.
“404” alludes to absence and failure, reflecting that the utopia that should exist has not yet been realized. Together, these two symbols mirror the current condition of humanity: a world that ought to be whole and peaceful, yet has been forgotten in the tumult of war and indifference.
By bringing together more than twenty-five artists from diverse generations and styles, the exhibition presents a unique collection of visual arts, including painting, calligraphy, sculpture and photography. Each work is an invitation to reflect a bridge between today’s reality and the ideals of a Utopia.
This event is the voice of artists calling for the re-creation of peace and coexistence, and an invitation to dialogue about a world where art is the common language of hearts. May the viewer discover fragments of “Utopia” within themselves through these works, and believe that even in darkness, the hope of building a better world remains alive.
