The Sonic Utopias installation is based on the first season of a sonic futuring podcast with the same name originally produced for Stegi Radio, Onassis Foundation, Athens: a collavorative practice that allowed me and my colleagues to listen, engage with, and collectively move towards futures of ecosocial repair . Within the framework of sonic divination, our speculative narratives take the form of audio fictions and enact instructions for the creation of alternative world models. In the installation five seashells act as portals to the futures we have envisioned. The seashells that contain these tender narratives are laid on sand - a metaphor to the childish practice of building sandcastles and the necessity of world-building in frail times.
