Thank you for fundraising with us this year again! Here is more information.

“Dream Variations:REimagining a New World” is an audiovisual collage that will explore the question “what kind of world will we create after this one ends?” through probing the black radical imagination. The project will center the new world dream narratives of working-class black people incorporating aspects of the 8toAbolition framework and Black feminist ideology. Four to five participants of varying ages, gender expression, sexual orientation, and other diverse identity markers will recite their dream for a new world as a rendition of Langston Hughes’ poem Dream Variation. Following the recording of their audio, the participants will have their portrait taken in black &amp; white. The portrait will serve as the foundation for their collage. The collage will be made up of imagery pulled from the participant’s dream poem and their portrait. The collage will then be paired with their poem audio. The audio collages will be presented in a digital exhibit. The digital exhibit will consist of a standalone website backdropped against a single collage consisting of all the participants dream world creating a new world ecosystem. Viewers will then be transported to various landing pages where they can view each participants collage hear their dream audio and learn more about who the participants are. The digital exhibit will also have a page solely dedicated to black liberation theory, learning resources, and an interactive activity that allows viewers to engage in their own new world dreaming.
