The Fisher's latest exhibition is now open.

"From No Where: utopian and dystopian visions of our past, present, and future" features a broad selection of utopian and dystopian visions from the Fisher's collections, ranging from Plato’s Republic and Augustine’s City of God to Francis Bacon’s New Atlantis and Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe to H. G. Wells's War of the Worlds and Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. While the title reflects upon Thomas More’s classic 1516 book Utopia, it features books that date prior to the book's publication, along with focusing on materials that were inspired, sometimes negatively, on More’s vision of the imaginary society on the island of Utopia.

Below is a short audio clip from exhibit curator Chris Young on the original genesis of the exhibit. Also included are images from a number of the books on display.

The exhibit runs until May 3.
