DREAM TECH is a series of interdisciplinary performances and workshops inspired by Kanyen’kehà:ka dream technology, unfolding on BC’s Sunshine Coast.
Guided by our understanding of dreaming as ancestral and living technology, DREAM TECH explores dreaming as creative practice, as story, as connection, and as a way of building futures together.
