DREAMS OF WATER this evening https://hdfst.uk/e161024
Join us for this session dedicated to the practice of social dreaming drawing, a method that combines shared dream narratives with visual expression to foster insight, connection, and creative art-making. Through sharing dreams and oneiric materials within a group, using free association, participants are encouraged to explore hidden links, patterns, and dynamics within their socio-cultural context. Each participant will create their own drawing or painting, and we will also use shared oneiric materials to collaboratively craft art. This process aims to generate hypotheses that can lead to new perspectives, connections, and positive change.

🌊 Dive into the Depths: Social Dreaming Drawing Workshop 🌊 Dreams of water often symbolize the deep, subconscious currents of our emotional lives. Whether you dream of peacefully floating on calm seas or navigating turbulent, stormy waves, these images reflect our inner world and collective socio-cultural dynamics.

Join us for a unique, creative session where we bring these water dreams to life through art. Developed in the 1980s by Gordon Lawrence, social dreaming uses shared dream narratives and collective imagery to spark new insights and perspectives—and we are taking it a step further by expressing these dreams beyond words through drawing and painting. 🎨✨

No prior artistic experience required—all materials are provided!

This is a creative and exploratory practice, not a therapeutic session.

🎟️ Please note: Tickets are non-refundable due to limited spaces, but they are fully transferable to a friend!

Today, we hosted our very first Social Dream-Drawing session on Fire Dreams. Swipe to see the imagery that emerged when we map our shared cultural landscape. 🎨🌙

This collaborative method—adapted from Gordon Lawrence’s Social Dreaming Matrix—treats nocturnal dreams not as individual pathology, but as vital indicators of what is happening in our wider community and society. W

When I envisioned L’Étoile Studio here in Bristol, I wanted a quiet sanctuary for shared energy—not just a white, empty gallery. The silent spark behind it all was Francesca Alinovi. ✨

As an independent curator, Francesca lived art with a rare, contagious enthusiasm. She believed completely in the absolute power of creating together, famously connecting the underground art scenes of Bologna and New York in ways no one else could.

Finding a rare archive photo of her—with an eight-pointed star right above her head in the exact symbol and color of my studio—felt like a gentle, cosmic nod from the past. 🌌

This journey taught me something I want to share with all of you: believe in your dreams and never stop imagining the future you desire. Time is short, and we have already lost too much of it.

L’Étoile Studio is my way of keeping that collective, passionate heartbeat alive.
