We are inspired in this workshop by the 17th Istanbul Biennial project of Sriwhana Spong, in which she produces the work based on the dreams of two women, Ümmü Abdullah and Rabia, who are early followers of Islamic mysticism. By making use of colorful feathers, strings, beads, and other materials, we design our dreamcatchers on carton plates as we chat about how dreams are the creative reflections of our mind, while at the same time we improve our motor skills and expand our imagination.

The Greek god Apollo and his son Asklepios presided over the realm of medicine and healing. Apollo was also the god of light and sun, whose solar symbolism and association with medicine would become linked to Christ the Physician, and the resurrected.
