FUTURE/DREAMZ/FANTASY

Hosted by Jamila Johnson-Small

___

Sometimes, I forget to dream, squashed by the endless bureaucracy of being a not-rich-at-all freelance artist in London -what does dreaming look like?

What can rolling with a fantasy reveal or release about/in the present?

What is the relationship between dreaming and permission and how can we give ourselves greater permission?

What is the relationship between dreams and shame? When is this systemic? When is this about anticipation of conflict?

When is dreaming dangerous? When does art disrupt preconceptions about the future?

What kinds of futures does your work propose?

How does this affect the aesthetics of your art-making?

What are the politics of your aesthetics?

How do we make space to dream when our art-making involves making our bodies public, surfaces on which to project and enact systemic prejudices, violences and privileges? What are your strategies for projecting your body into the future on your own terms?

Is there a space for imagining a different kind of politic in the gap between our fantasies for the future and our situations in the present?

Can we dream up an alternative? (please)

Bring your strategies, manifestos, practices, inspirational stuff, wildest ideas. Let’s see what we can do to get to any new spaces of thought.

Dream/fantasy-themed/related snacks/aides welcome. (Please no nuts as I have an allergy)

Supported by Chisenhale Dance Space’s Allotment Fund.
