Anthotype workshop coming soon! - Sunday 9th July in CCA Glasgow's Clubroom ☀

At Glasgow Zine Library's 10th anniversary festival, Ane and Lucy will be hosting 'Slow letters to the Future' 💭 The aim is to provide a more transient and precarious form of artistic production amongst the mass consumption of images and the permanent carbon cost of data storage.

🎟 Tickets are PWYC - reserve your place here, 14 spots available!

Image descriptions:
1. soft pink print with sun exposed leaf shapes, 'these give energy', 'keep them healthy, a natural succession' are written above and below.
2. orange/yellow print with faintly sun-exposed shapes and leaves, 'what future?' is written at the bottom. Half of another print is on the right, in a warm grey colour, featuring 'sustenance, blooming, the bridge to paradise', with 'sustenance' and 'blooming' double exposed at the top, and a Civic Press Limited logo at the bottom.
3. the second half of the print from image 2 features a small cluster of leaves. A second soft blue/grey print is in the centre, featuring the words 'it's simple' in the top left corner and a shining sun motif in the centre.
4. a graphic saying 'see you at GZF23!' is broken by an illustration of 9 people holding a giant, pale blue open notebook, 5 of which are holding a giant stapler, with the words '10 Years of DIY joy' written in red, green and blue, in different fonts for each letter.

We're looking for dream submissions of all forms and sizes to contribute to The Dream Vault! 📝 🌅

Dreaming, ecology, love, care and low carbon pleasures. They're all linked, and have the potential to play a huge part in sustaining us in this precarious age we now live in. The Dream Turbine is A+E's collaboration with The NewBridge Project which aims provide a space to recharge, tune-in and reconnect with our dream states, and learn how they can be used as a tool in building more sustainable lifestyles.

On the website you'll find the DREAMPAK, our guide which will help you to understand these links - don't miss the meditation recording link👂🏼-. It also includes some of our techniques for reaching deeper dreaming states and a few techniques for recording the resulting dreams.

Contributing to the The Dream Vault it's super easy! just fill the form at the bottom of our page within the NewBridge Project webiste

See you in dreamland and listen out for an upcoming workshop! 💭 💤 💫

This online installation explores the relationship between sustainability and dreaming, offering a space to collectively share our dreams and have discussions surrounding these broader topics.

It's here, The Dream Turbine has now been fully installed.

🌊🌀⚡️💭 Exploring the relationship between sustainability and dreaming, The Dream Turbine offers a space to collectively share our dreams and have discussions surrounding these broader topics.

Using the DREAMPAK provided, along with other resources, we encourage you to record your dreams in whatever method feels best for you. Drawings, film, sound, photos, collage, text, whatever it may be. By using these resources and recording your dreams you’re a part of The Dream Turbine.

If you so wish, you can also become part of The Dream Vault. In order to gain access, all we ask for is a dream submission. In return, you will gain access to the Vault, where you will be able to see yours and many others’ dreams amalgamated into one dreamy space. For the moment the Vault will stay dormant but submissions are now open!

Over the coming weeks we’ll be announcing more details and events surrounding this project, so please stay tuned.

The Dream Turbine was conceived by A+E in collaboration with Niomi Fairweather and Jessica Bennett, as part of the Overmorrow Festival at The NewBridge Project 💭💭💭💭⚡️

Back in March we started a beautiful journey with Livia Rita to design the CREATURE METAMORPHOSIS Card Game accompanying her FUGA FUTURA album.

We are so happy to give birth and share with you all the top card!

The full cohort of mystic creatures will slowly unravel itself, keep your elfic ears tuned.

🧚‍♀️🐚🦋💮🕸🍃

On a fragile seeming Monday in fragile times I feel curious and energised to drop you the Top Card for the CREATURE METAMORPHOSIS game that will accompany the album. For all the budding freaks, weirdos and witches hiding within our current reality. This will help you navigate and share the abundant powers within yourself and the album's spells.
*
The 11 coming Game Cards each correspond to a song from FUGA FUTURA, with an entirely original creature to represent the album's journey.
