NEW ENGLAND PREMIERE
In 1968, architect Ralph Rapson was charged with designing one of the largest urban renewal projects in US history, a utopia constructed entirely of concrete. The plan faced one problem: the Minneapolis neighborhood they wanted to demolish was home to a counterculture with its own utopian vision. Tracing a remarkable story of resistance to urban renewal and its aftermath, Brutal Utopias works to understand the dreams of modernity—and their violence—at the moment they were starting to crumble.
