Something has gone wrong with our public conversation — and most people can sense it. Mainstream institutions tell us what to think, media act as moral gatekeepers, and anyone who asks the wrong questions is dismissed or silenced. Meanwhile, the problems keep getting worse.

​

Protopia Lab exists to break this spell. We bring together people who are ready to think for themselves, ask hard questions about our cultural moment, and explore honest alternatives — beyond the tired frameworks of left and right.

About us

Protopia Lab is an independent think tank and social innovation lab based in Barcelona.

 

We challenge the progressive consensus that has captured our institutions and left ordinary people without a voice. We believe the most important conversations today are the ones we are not supposed to have — about immigration, cultural identity, the decline of family and community, and the failure of liberal elites to deliver on their promises. We organise events, workshops, and public debates for people curious enough to look beyond the official story.

“The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum—even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate.”
