We all go somewhere during a night's slumber, an afternoon cat nap, when we are born and when we die. This place that we go exists outside of reality and outside of the physical world in which we live. While we may all go to this 'other place', each one of our dream states are unique to the individual. Often we may not remember our dreams but they have come from and exist within us. Our dreams are affected by our personal lives as much as they affect our living reality. Dreams are commonly forgotten shortly after we awaken, making them seemingly non-existent past the individual experience of them. Sigmund Freud, taught of dreams in the context of reality. Manifest content of dreams is a term that describes the visual narrative of the dream – the storytelling of what what the dream looked like inside of the mind. In this exhibit, Dream Manifestation Theory, participating artists share something of their personal, individual dream experiences. Representing the individual dream states in a public space and sharing in them with others is our activation of Dream Manifestation Theory.
Artwork, and prints will be available for sale at the event.

Accessibility
Some areas of the Ellis Building are not yet wheelchair accessible. We're hoping to resolve this soon and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. The main exhibition area for this event is not accessible via wheelchair, however the warehouse installation, food truck, music, bar, outdoor courtyard and washrooms will be.
This event is held on the unceded and ancestral territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and mi ce:p kʷətxʷiləm (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. As we host events, we acknowledge the historical and ongoing colonial genocide against Indigenous peoples, as it is their lands that make it possible for us to be here as occupiers.
