NISHKA and the Dream Matrix

Our installation HOUSE was created after a series of group meetings where participants shared dreams. Participants reached out to us through an open call. During the meetings we used the psychotherapeutic method Social Dreaming Matrix, in which we had taken part ourselves previously. The approach is influenced by the work of C.G. Jung and created by Dr. Gordon Lawrence. The consultant for our project was Yana Moneva, a Jungian psychotherapist and poet. We held three of the meetings in Sofia, two in the village of Koshava (Vidin region), and three in the village of Pavolche (Vratsa region). Dream gathering in the villages was made possible thanks to our participation in the Baba Residence during the summer of 2023. The meetings in Sofia were realised thanks to our participation in the Constitutions program of the Center for Social Vision.
