Saks Afridi, _The Prayer Catcher_, 2019. Designed by Brandon Wetzel, in collaboration with Ferda Kolatan, Hart Marlow, Amir Ashtiani.
[The Ford Foundation Gallery](https://www.fordfoundation.org/about/the-ford-foundation-center-for-social-justice/ford-foundation-gallery/)’s latest exhibition, [Utopian Imagination](https://www.fordfoundation.org/about/the-ford-foundation-center-for-social-justice/ford-foundation-gallery/exhibitions/utopian-imagination/), showcases new life on a planet imperiled by the likes of humankind. Ford’s previous show, [Radical Love](https://www.fordfoundation.org/about/the-ford-foundation-center-for-social-justice/ford-foundation-gallery/exhibitions/radical-love/), was a sort of precursor to the current one; expressing love as the ideal utopia. Utilizing objects, bodies, vessels, and fragments, fourteen diverse artists show futuristic narratives through science fiction. Metaphors of liberation are present in a variety of fictional landscapes, and transformed bodies, taking viewers on a flight and through space. Though our current reality exists in perpetual conflict and disarray, Utopian Imagination provides a feeling of hopefulness for future generations. Check out the exhibition on view through December 7th.
Installation view: _Utopian Imagination_, Ford Foundation Gallery, September 17 - December 7, 2019
