The Center for Art, Research and Alliances (CARA) presents Conjurings, a public program unfolding over three weekends in July and August 2022. Shaped by scholars, artists, musicians, writers, machines, sonic technologies, and many other life-forms and undefinable disciplines, Conjurings will braid invocation, incantation, questioning, un-earthing, and ceremony, to open space for future (un)doings. The invited artists consider the potency of dreams, and its possibilities for mobilizing healing, reparation, and somatic social justice. Through attuning to vitality, ecology, sonic lineages, technopoetics, and the many still-unknown capacities of elemental transformation, Conjurings asks how else dreaming might be utilized in focused, materially rooted narratives and pathways for reparation and transcendence.
