Surrealism, which was born as a poetic response to the First World War – along with the primacy of reason that justified it – aims to remove contradictions between ‘the real’ and the vastest reaches of people’s imaginations, building worlds and ways of being not yet known. The Sanctuary of Surrealism is a space of otherwise, other ways of knowing, being and doing that nurtures such beyondness. A place where dream and waking worlds dance, a where everyone is a poet dwelling in unrestrained splendour.
