정보

Curated and produced by dancer, writer and editor Leila Lois, Dances & Dreams is a capricious, open celebration of emergent ways of knowing, or “elusive moments of connection” between us, our ancestry and the landscape. We are a diverse collective of artists who celebrate jin/jiyan/ azadi, women/life/freedom through multiple art forms.
