Everyday Moments of Disruption: Navigating Towards Utopia
Abstract: Representations of utopia are often streamlined into being an end goal, a concrete vision for a better future. For mainstream sexual violence organisations, utopia is largely simplified into being a world without sexual abuse, and the path to this utopia is breaking the silence to end the violence. Through utilising utopic theory, this article will unpick this concentration, and suggest a re-direction towards focusing more on the granular parts of utopia. Davina Cooper’s concept of everyday utopias will be utilised, alongside the radical work of adrienne maree brown and Walidah Imarisha to highlight the positive alternatives that lie in everyday utopian social justice practices. Drawing on the work of three groups the author currently organises with, Hollaback! London, Sisters Uncut and the Silenced Museum, an opposition between the teleological narrative of early feminist movements and the everyday utopianism of grassroots organising will be drawn.
