Project Title: The Sound of You Dreaming
Amount awarded: €30,000
The Sound of You Dreaming is a solo exhibition by Paul Scerri, held at Spazju Kreattiv. It is curated by Gabriel Zammit, and Andrew Borg Wirth is associate curator. This project sees Scerri develop his practice into new territories and delve into dreams, asking the question, ‘what does it mean to dream alone and together? Is it possible to hear the sound of you dreaming?’ It is a well-known fact that dreams follow archetypal patterns which cut across time and culture. They are a rupture in the process of understanding the world because they contradict everyday notions of time and space, but at the same time, they also contain strange and deep personal and collective truths. Complemented by a programme of auxiliary events as well as a micro-exhibition in collaboration with Valletta Contemporary, this project also fosters interdisciplinary collaboration and sees Scerri push his practice in new and innovative directions.

Amount awarded: €30,00
The project involves translating the critically acclaimed theatre play 'It's True, It's True, It's True' by Breach Theatre into Maltese and staging it in an unconventional space that reflects the themes and subject matter of the script.
