My Dream Called Sike is a collaborative exhibition supported by Unfold, a collective that unlocks the creative brilliance of the rangatahi in South Auckland and shares their untold stories.
This exhibition is curated by the UCB (Unfold Creative Block), a subgroup of Unfold.
My Dream Called Sike is an exploration of the mutually influential relationship between us and our dreams.
This encompasses the dreams we experience when we sleep, the dreams that guide our future, the dreams we have of rewriting our narratives, and the dreams that protect us.
These are dreams of self-determination and escapism that are fanciful, rich, and drawn from within.
Using the expression ‘sike,’ playfully meaning ‘I tricked you’ to suggest that all personal eventualities being subject to change.
Focusing on the vulnerabilities of each artist, this exhibition investigates the unique way their conscious and subconscious psyches interpret the world.
Asking the question; are we in control of our dreams, or are they in control of us?
