We Should All Be Dreaming is an ongoing practice initiated in 2018 by artist-activist duo Sonya Lindfors and Maryan Abdulkarim. The project focuses on the radical potential of decolonial dreaming as a restorative and subversive practice and materializes through different iterations that are always context specific.

We Should All Be Dreaming: Words Make Worlds is Commissioned in the frame of A I S T I T / coming to our senses contemporary art program produced by The Finnish Cultural Institute for the Benelux, The Finnish Cultural Institute in the UK and Ireland, Institut finlandais and The Finnish Institute in Germany. Co-produced by UrbanApa and presented by LIFT as part of LIFTLOVES LONDON.
