The COVID-19 crisis has brought an unprecedented seismic shift to the media landscape. It has been a catalyst not only for new ways of working but also for reflections on what kind of world we would like to live in. As a response to this, CPH:LAB 2020/2021 will solicit submissions on the specific subject of Protopia, under the banner “Another World Is Possible”. While utopia describes an ideal state, perfect and unrealistic, and dystopia is a non-ideal state, unhealthy and devolving, protopia is a proactive bridge from our current state to an improved, rather than a perfect society.
CPH:LAB is a continuous online development and production lab taking place over four months, from mid-September 2020 to mid-January 2021 and at CPH:DOX in Copenhagen from April 26-30, 2021 (if allowed).
