Speculative design concepts, innovative material experiments, and artistic installations come together in a joint showcase.

With CRITICAL UTOPIA – POSSIBLE FUTURES, the Budapest Metropolitan University and the Collegium Hungaricum Vienna bring together interdisciplinary works by students and faculty that engage in a collaborative exploration of the design of the future. The exhibition features speculative design concepts, innovative material experiments, and artistic installations that respond to current social, ecological, and technological challenges. Through objects, visual works, and experimental approaches, visitors are invited to imagine possible futures and to engage with critical questions about the role of design and art in shaping the future.
