The right symbol or name in the right place can break silences, provide new insights, and reframe hierarchies in a second.

Liberation arts need to create spaces for multiple narratives about national history and overcome the resistances they encounter from those who would prefer not to hear a more complex reinterpretation of the past. We need to develop new forms of recollection, creativity, subjectivity, activism and freedom.

~ Watkins and Shulman, Toward Psychologies of Liberation

Actors, playwrights, dancers, musicians have always been summoned in times of cultural crisis and transformation to show the wider community what we have forgotten, what we wish to avoid, what we do not want to see about ourselves, our societies and our collective realities.

We need the mirrors that the performing arts hold up more than ever. If you are interested in building any kind of music, song, storytelling, spoken word, theatrical pieces out of your own dreams, or about the dreams in this collection please contact us to submit a dream or arrange to share videos or project images.

We want your work and your statements to be recorded as a form of public, shared, communal dreaming.
