Utopia. The Right to Hope
BEEDAO is part of the exhibition in Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg
27 SEPTEMBER 2025 - 11 JANUARY 2026
We are living in a time of global crises: war, displacement, climate catastrophe, and a growing distrust in democracy. Yet we continue to seek ways of living together in solidarity and sustainability.
The exhibition and publication Utopia. The Right to Hope, initiated by Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, brings together artistic, architectural, and activist contributions that highlight micro-utopias as seeds for change.
ZK/U / KUNSTrePUBLIK contributes with the work BeeDAO – an artistic experiment at the intersection of ecology, collectivity, and decentralized technology.
