1000 Dreams
April 3 – May 11, 2025
“The exhibition showcases 1000 Dreams, a project seeking to change harmful refugee narratives by sharing the stories of 1000 refugees across the world. Entirely authored by storytellers with a refugee background, the initiative by Witness Change, the organization behind 1000 Dreams believes that for the narrative to change, the lives of refugees have to be authentically represented – their voices must be heard. They have hosted a series of intensive storytelling workshops, training people with refugee backgrounds on how to make portraits and conduct interviews. With these new skills, the refugee storytellers collect testimonies from other refugees. Their stories amplify the voices of refugees and provide insights into their individual lives and the emotional impact of current policies and attitudes.”
