how do we create conditions for dreaming, of safety?
what do we do to tend to ourselves, others, to be, witness, celebrate?

flow with us through an evening of visual storytelling and music from creators based in berlin, vietnam, taiwan, so-called australia (tiwi islands/larrakia land) and aotearoa with ancestry from china, hong kong, south korea, suriname, java, colombia and more
