Gloves for Collective Dreaming

2025

Gloves for Collective Dreaming are comprised of repurposed fabric embedded with dried plants that aid sleep and dreaming – lavender, camomile, valerian root, Calea Zacatechichi/ dream herb, mugwort. The gloves are able to join together through magnets sewn into the fabric, initiating the wearer to clasp forearms with another wearer. These speculative garments consider threads of collective dreaming, shared visions, sleep states, intimacy, and protective garments. They act as a tool to hold questions of how we might collectively dream and shape new futures of mutual flourishing. 

Made for Growing Season exhibition with Coven, supported by Arts Council England.
