The act of dreaming, positioned delicately between the real and the unrealized or unfulfilled, is nourished by hope and desire, but also by fear and disillusionment. It is when living in times of economic and social insecurity that the collective body claims for more space and action, growing louder and stronger. Rather than viewing precarity as a barrier, we can embrace it as an intrinsic aspect of existence that fosters collaboration among both living and non-living creatures. In this new light, precarity assumes a life-producing capacity, generating alternative worlds and stories. When dreams and nightmares take stage as protagonists for a common purpose, they equip us with unexpected tools, offering resources beyond our individual imaginings.

Dreams of Dreams of Dreams is an exhibition and public program which explores the transformative power of imagination when fuelled by a collective resolve to dismantle the status quo. Continuously re-imaging alternative presents, the collective body creates new tools and paradigms. Through artistic exploration, the exhibited works and activities delve into the experience of precarity as a shared condition for common survival. Dreaming thus becomes a communal practice—a process to be contextualized, cultivated, safeguarded, and nurtured. Within this space, we are offered the opportunity to rehearse new worlds together and to train our capacity of dreaming-in-common.

Dreams of Dreams of Dreams is on show from April 6 until June 21 at Onomatopee.
