The year is 2050 and Australia is a diverse, inclusive nation with a First Nations treaty, sustained<br />

action on climate change and a thriving green economy. Speculation Nation: Making Utopia<br />

presents the work of crafts practitioners across Australia to ruminate on this utopia and create a<br />

material response. Artists might explore how we can reach this utopia or reflect on these ideas<br />

more generally.<br />
