Dream Here Now! is an attempt to navigate the collective subconscious through a prompt of interactive art installation and immersive experience. It models itself on studies that were groundbreaking for counterculture movements of the past century, explored by Richard Alpert, Marie Laurencin, Amiri Baraka, Anne Waldman, and Ken Kesey. First showcased in April 2025, it has toured around the country gathering dreams and focusing the light. This fresh invocation in the series will feature guided meditations in the form of live music and performance conducive to encourage the audience to activate their imagination. Together, we will identify common dreams among our generation and how to proceed to achieve them together.

If you’re unable to attend in person, please still feel invited to join us in the dreamtime. All it takes is closing your eyes and counting 1, 2, 3 to find us in the night and focus your light.
Excited to connect with you all!
