- The event is a continuation of the Dreaming project – an open call for video works in which several works exploring the idea of “dreaming” were selected.
- The Dreaming is an exhibition of video art, animations, and experimental films that explore topics including technological mysticism, post-work, speculative realism, queer ecologies, and the relationships between human and nonhuman entities. The screening will be accompanied by a discussion with the authors.
- The curatorial concept of the review draws on Stephen Duncombe’s idea of “social dreaming,” described in his book Dream: Re-imagining Progressive Politics in an Age of Fantasy. Arguing that “fantasy and spectacle have become the domain of fascism,” the theorist, performer, and activist argues that the left should “build a politics that takes into account dreams and create spectacles that give form to those dreams.” The concept of social dreaming presents the state of collective imagining/dreaming as a catalyst for change, encouraging the “reclaiming” of the potential of radical imagination and using it to transform ossified social, cultural, and political systems, viewing imagination as an effective tool in creating new, open, and horizontal solutions and social practices.
- The event is co-organized by the Nerdka collective consisting of:
- Justyna Górowska, Jagoda Wójtowicz, Agata Polak, Jeremiasz Rzenno, Martix Nawrot, Michał Oparowski, Pavlo Mazur
