University Open Air: Madeline Moment - Dreaming of Lost Time
Have you had a dream which left a nostalgic resonance in its wake? A dream of a lost time is like a lone page of a diary, delivered to you with a purpose you may not understand, but every dream holds a kernel of the highest truth, especially one that takes you back in time. What is it your dream wants to remind you of? Let’s find out. You’re invited to a communal dream-sharing session with a Proustian twist.
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 world mythology and symbols of the collective unconscious.
Her research covers the topics of dreams, memories, liminality, 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 - a collective memory of war - and faith healing in South African cultures.
