Care Dreaming

Exploring our past, present and future relationships to care through collective healing, imagination and shared creativity.

We will journey from the past, through the present and into the future to trace our lessons and dreams about care. Care Dreaming weaves gentle embodied healing practices, imagination and sharing through art making. Care Dreaming is inspired by the work of Alice Sheppard, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha and Disabled imagination.
