Imagine it’s 2030. What do you see when you look outside of your window?
The Big Dream is a celebration of human imagination, collated from over 50,000 dreams. A video projection depicting global dreams of what the world will look like in 2030 will be unveiled in Lower Grand Square on 22nd February (22.2.22).
The Old Royal Naval College will be the only location in the UK to be showing the projected artwork, one of 20 iconic venues worldwide, including Times Square in New York, Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo, Tower of David in Jerusalem, Mount Kilimanjaro and Qutb Minar Tower in India, before the digital artwork travels to the International Space Station as part of the Rakia Mission.
You can see the projection from Tuesday 22nd February - Sunday 27th February, from 5pm - 9pm daily, and hear a talk from artist GŁOWA on the opening night.
