Sharon Sliwinski, Director of the Museum of Dreams, will make a case for restoring dreaming to its proper place, as one of our most important ways of seeing. As the world becomes increasingly encircled by images of violence, dreams not only help us envision and protect those dimensions of existence that the camera cannot capture; they are also one of our most powerful schools of transformation, a critical resource for generating new worlds and new ways of being. Drawing from powerful exemplars—from Harriet Tubman to contemporary Indigenous activist Abigail Echo-Hawk—Sliwinski will provide a series of critical lessons about how dreams can serve as one of our most important tools for radically changing our world.

This event is co-sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum.
