University Open Air: Dream Language School. Dreams: The X-rays of the Soul
Join Alisa Minyukova of the Dream Mapping Project for a communal dream sharing session in preparation for the publication of the "The Brooklyn Dream Handbook", A zine dedicated to the exploration of the symbols, archetypes and parabolic’s of Brooklyn’s diverse community. Through dream sharing we learn volumes about one another’s heritage and histories. Together we will traverse the complex landscape of the collective unconscious to learn how to interpret the language of dreams, intuit their purpose and learn how to work with the dreaming imagination.
Alisa Minyukova is a Russian born artist, researcher and educator based in Brooklyn, New York. She is co-creator of the Dream Mapping Project which works to bridge dream science with the creative process resulting in an ongoing series of collaborative art, film and performance works. Her drawings, film and mixed media installations explore Slavic and Jewish mythology, symbols of the collective unconscious and that which is caste out of awareness. Her research covers the topics of memories, dreams, emigration, heritage and the loss thereof and the exploration of the human condition by way of ancestral memory. Her current creative focus is on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the collective memory of war.
