The Councilors' Club of the City of Brno, located in the Old Town Hall complex, will transform into a clubhouse for collective dreaming every Wednesday of the month, where art, activism, and academia coexist and create new imaginative connections. Throughout the year 2025, public meetings will take place here, all centered around envisioning more-than-real forms of the present world. The program of individual events is prepared in dialogue with invited guests, who will personally guide attendees through a chosen form of collective dreaming based on their artistic or research practices.
Curators of the Collective Dreaming Club are Jana Mikuš Hanzelová and Amálie Bulandrová.
