Emily Kame Kngwarreye
Untitled, 1990, acrylic paint on canvas
Aboriginal elder and lifelong custodian of indigenous women’s Dreaming sites. Ancestral journeys, spirits, animals and people within a matrix of native plant seeds and dissolved time ('everywhen').
Social dreaming is an embodied opportunity to activate the collective unconscious through the sharing of dreams and associations in a supported space. Using meditation to access a state of reverie, the matrix weaves dream imagery and free associations into a rich tapestry of connections. Previously hidden meanings and unspoken truths buried within our shared cultural ecosystem emerge. A novel mode of engaging, the matrix cultivates a sense of unity and opens channels onto creativity and deep connection.
ma·trix (n.) /ˈmātriks/ An environment within or from which something else originates, develops, or takes form. Derived from Latin ‘mater’ mother, 'matrix' womb.
