Queering Dreams
Some Guiding Quotes:
“Dreaming in public and in community is a powerful act. It is a pathway to thinking deeply and creatively about what a new world might look like, what we might look like doing the work of creating anti-oppressive selves, institutions and ways of being.” - Crystal Mason
“Organizing with other people creates a social context of accountability and relationality that helps with a number of health related issues--such as anxiety, stress, and depression related to alienation and isolation under capitalism.” - The Red Deal by The Red Nation, p 87
Our Grounding Dream: Queering Dreams comes with open hearts, full of gifts, and a willingness to be in the process of co-creation. We bring with us and make community with those who understand: we must do better. We want to walk away with shared dreams and visions of what it can look, feel, and be like to live, to love, and to build something new, outside the prerogatives of capitalism & White Supremacy & patriarchy & ableism & colonialism & all oppression & tyranny.
Our Mission: Queering Dreams is a new art, care, and communities-expanding network by Crystal Mason & Jason Wyman & YOU that's collectively dreaming & creating our liberation (from capitalism & White Supremacy & patriarchy & ableism & colonialism & all oppression & tyranny.)
Our Emergent Values: Queering Dreams values consent. Queering Dreams believes all have autonomy over what they consent to and that they can recant their consent at any time. Queering Dreams values communal, applied dreaming. Queering Dreams believes that dreaming together and then working together to make them real is a key to our liberation from capitalism & White Supremacy & patriarchy & ableism & colonialism & all oppression & tyranny. Queering Dreams values conversation. Queering Dreams believes conversation is how we cultivate trust, vulnerability, camaraderie, and solidarity. Plus, conversation is part of deep and long-standing traditions. Queering Dreams values community media. Queering Dreams believes that what we co-create are crucial records of communal dreams, contain easy-to-use tools, and articulate collective actions. Queering Dreams believe those records should be freely shared for others to witness. We believe witnessing communal dreams, sharing tools, and publicly holding ourselves accountable to action amplifies the possibilities of our communal dreams becoming realities.
