Transutopias. Mobility. Movement. Mobilization

The new exhibition produced by CentroCentro is an exhibition essay that explores possible places to think about mobility today

From speculative and service design, to contemporary art, futuristic architecture, historical documents of urbanism, data visualization, photography and cinema, the exhibition approaches the accumulation and superposition of utopian models of thinking and exercising mobility.

Review some of the approaches to progress of the nineteenth century, the founding era of the modern city and urban mobility; It includes some of the main milestones in the history of mobility, such as the car, symbol of consumer society and freedom, or large infrastructures; and approaches from critical perspectives to the failures and limitations of the utopias of the past, to problems that affect us today such as pollution, population displacements, the obsolescence of infrastructures, or the excess of motor worship.

In addition, it approaches new approaches, new utopias, through projects that arise from the priorities and needs of citizens and that reveal new behaviors regarding the use and occupation in public space.

It has been curated by Rosa Pera, José Luis de Vicente and Víctor del Río and is the result of a collaborative project with Medialab Prado

The exhibition promoted by CentroCentro is the result of a collaborative project with Medialab Prado developed under the title Cultures of mobility. From the methodological and disciplinary specificity of each of the two facilities (from the languages and expository codes to the activation of scenarios of public participation and convening of social agents), a joint initiative is approached that allows a first awareness of the profound changes that are glimpsed around mobility.

It includes more than thirty pieces and international projects of contemporary art, speculative and service design, data visualization, photography and cinema. In the exhibition you can see works by:
