Dreaming with the Earth

What is your wildest dream for our future? This prompt guides Dreamseeds, an ongoing, socially engaged project and workshop series created by Baltimore artists Hannah Brancato and Sanahara Ama Chandra. Part of the BMA's Turn Again to the Earth environmental initiative, this installation invites visitors to write visions for our collective future on handmade paper.

So far, visitors have dreamed of happy and healthy families, a clean planet, a stronger connection with nature, freedom from fear, and "less scrolling, more living!"

What's your vision? Add your voice to the Dreamseeds wall located in front of the Thalheimer Galleries in the East Lobby, and look out for upcoming events inspired by this immersive experience.
