University Open Air: Shadow Chaser: Inviting Your Dreams to Tea
Have you encountered your worst self in dreams? Doing, saying, or wishing things that you would never permit yourself to do, think, or say in waking life? Let us invite our "Shadow Selves" to tea. There is no better remedy for shame, embarrassment, and confusion than opening the door to the unconscious to let the light in. Your shadow will thank you.
Tea will be served.
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.
