Knotty Ash and Dovecot Park residents are being invited to share their dreams to help shape a special festival.
Memories and dreams will be gathered, discussed and interpreted through a series of creative workshops, community gatherings, schools’ activities and pop-up public events.
The Dovecot Dreamkeeping Society, an artistic residency led by artist Izzie Major, is a fictional organisation dedicated to preserving the memories and dreams of the different generations of the Knotty Ash and Dovecot Park area.
Using Surrealist art techniques such as collage creating, dream journals, automatic drawing and writing, the memories and dreams collected via creative community workshops will directly shape the devising process and immersive performance festival, celebration and public art around Dovecot Parade in spring.
Commissioned by Liverpool City Council’s Culture Liverpool team as part of its Creative Neighbourhoods programme and supported by the UK’s Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF), the residency will also be supported by a public art commission delivered by artist, John Culshaw and funded by UKSPF and the Local Neighbourhood Fund.
Keep up to date with upcoming workshops by following @dreamkeepingsociety on Instagram and share your dreams via izziedreamkeeping@gmail.com.
