This exposition discusses the possibility of embracing an expanded notion of life, a zoe-centred egalitarianism, as proposed by Rosi Braidotti, in order to envision a liveable future on the planet and the utopian potential in the act of calling for an imaginary creature, a dragon, using as examples some video works created in 2012-2013 and retuned to in 2019.
