SANCTUARIA is an immersive art installation for communal daydreaming presented by Alivia Blade, El Bruner, Lindsey Cummins, and Sirene Martin. Sanctuaria is a place of refuge, reflection, joy, and grief. It is a place for cultivating dreams of liberation. What of these dreams can we root in the soil of our shared reality? This installation features paper-mache shrines, objects and an altar-scape honoring Harriet Tubman and Alivia's grandmothers, inviting visitors to meditate, wander, and dream collectively.

Additional programming for this installation includes Dream Journal workshops, in which participants are encouraged to dream about their ideal world and how to merge these dreams with their present reality. For these workshops, we partnered with Sweet Evening Breeze, an organization providing housing and resources to LGBTQ+ young adults, and opened the workshop to the public.

SANCTUARIA opened November, 1st, 2025 and closes December 11th, 2025.

This event was sponsored by the Kentucky Foundation for Women
