Dreams That Wake is a multidisciplinary exhibition that explores how displacement permeates the subconscious. Dreaming becomes a space of memory, resistance, and collective imagination. Through installations, sound, VR, performance, and participatory practices, the exhibition approaches dreaming not as a private experience, but as a shared territory where personal, political, and ancestral narratives intersect.
Dreams That Wake expands over time through workshops, talks, listening sessions, and a collective dream experience. The works grow through participation, weaving together individual memories, embodied practices, and shared symbolic languages.
Curated by Harshini J. Karunaratne and Basel Naouri
Featuring the works of Tala Fasheh, Elizaveta Bogachova, Mey Seifan and slowfuture.
