Tonight, 6pm-8.30pm. One night only.

Dockyard Church, Sheerness, Isle of Sheppey, Kent ME12 1ED.

Join us for a screening of two new videos by Adam Chodzko: The Island’s Collective Dream (2025), and A Guide for 'The Dreamshare Seer' (2025) (starring ANGUSRAZE).

Though being pioneered using dreams from the Isle of Sheppey’s residents, the tool can be used by any community and aims to make accessible the involuntary creativity of dreaming.

At IslandWorks, Dockyard Church, Garrison Rd, Sheerness ME12 1ED

Over 150 dreams from Sheppey have been shared so far and the project is constantly evolving.

Devised by Chodzko alongside 'The Dreamshare Seer' group, the unique free tool at the centre of the project uses generative Artificial Intelligence to visualise and animate the imagination of an entire community.

Although the first Dream Cloud is being formed by dreams from the Isle of Sheppey’s residents, 'The Dreamshare Seer' tool can be trialled by anyone, anywhere in the world, to visualise their dreams.

'The Dreamshare Seer' offers a new surreal way for us to connect with each other and to the landscapes we inhabit, informed by indigenous knowledge of dreamwork; The project is guided by experts connected to Malaysia’s indigenous Orang Asli population.

Created with the inhabitants of the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, 'The Dreamshare Seer' tool then maps these shared dream visions through its Dream Cloud. Here shared dreams automatically gather around themes or motifs they have in common, whilst indicating where the dreams emerge from on the Island.

It's free. Everyone welcome.

For one night only; Saturday 1st February, 6pm - 8.30pm.

This event is part of 'The Dreamshare Seer': A dream visualisation project with the Isle of Sheppey, by Whitstable-based artist, Adam Chodzko.

So…what is your island dreaming now?

Just over 9 months after its launch 'The Dreamshare Seer' invites you to find out, through a special celebration screening in the Dockyard Church*, Sheerness, Isle of Sheppey, Kent.
