In this workshop, curator and community organizer Manu Kaur will share the process of dreaming and actualizing an anti-caste space that is rooted in joy and healing. Dalit Dreamlands was a landmark multimedia art exhibition and dance party that presented over 30 multiply marginalized artists from Dalit, Adivasi, Bahujan, Afro-Indian, Indo-Fijiian, Indo-Caribbean, and Muslim communities. Through candid reflections on both triumphs and challenges, Manu Kaur will offer insights on what it takes to bring abolitionist art spaces to life. We will explore strategies for navigating obstacles and practical tools for cultural workers, curators, and organizers to imagine and build their own Dalit Dreamlands.
