Hovering between a performative reading, workshop, and installation, ONEIRIC SPACE's participatory reading creates space for encounters with language that open up multiple modes of attention, sensing and relating to knowledge. The format questions the traditional public reading, often directed at the brain while ignoring the body. 🔖

Pages can also be unfolded to reveal excerpts from ONEIRIC SPACE interviews with artists, researchers, or practitioners, opening up a space for voices to mingle and dialogue with the reader’s own experiences.

【GATHERING】 ‘Wading Thru Dreams, 2gether’ was a participatory reading at Künstlerdorf Schöppingen, as part of the Curating for Advanced Practices (CAP) Program, titled ‘Beyond Literature’.  Through readings, guided self-reflections, and partnered dialogue, the participatory reading invited participants to drop into the body in order to contemplate dreams as it relates to the waking world around us.

【NEWSLETTER】 Circulations (@ Sunrise) 001: “an oral storystelling practice that belongs to everyone” —Writer and artist Manisha Anjali

【NEWSLETTER】 Introduction to ‘Circulations (@ Sunrise)’, a series exploring forms of dream-sharing and how they’re entangled with aspects of social, cultural, and political life. What happens when dreams extend beyond our private worlds and connect with other dreams? Can sharing slivers of dream life with others deepen our understanding of larger patterns? We examine these questions, and others, through conversations and experiments with artists, researchers, and practitioners at sunrise, in an attempt to meet the rhythms of the dreaming mind.

【GATHERING】 ONEIRIC.SPACE hosted an ‘Anxiety Release Reading’ at Haus am Lützowplatz in the frame of the ‘It was all a dream’ exhibition, curated by Laura Helena Wurth. In the lead up to the reading, we collected anonymous dream accounts where the prevailing feeling was ‘anxiety’.

We also invited four guests from various disciplines to reflect on the topic of anxiety and anxiety dreams: artist and scientist Mert Akbal; historian and writer Edna Bonhomme; poet and printer Nat Marcus; and photographer Charmaine de Heij.
