The Creative and Political Power of Dreaming: (Re)Imagining the world through the eyes of girls

Our Collective Practice and Proximate
What would the world be like if it were shaped by girls’ dreams? Asking ourselves this question implies an act of radical resistance against adult-centred thinking, the patriarchal system, and the structures that seek to stifle the transformative potential of girls and young women. For them, dreaming is not a mere form of escapism, but a profound process of questioning and (re)imagining. In their dreams, they do not draw fantasy castles, but build tangible and collective alternatives for a more just future. They dream of accessible playgrounds where everyone can play and feel safe; of communities where coexistence is based on equity; of safe streets to walk on; and of clear forests and rivers where the defence of life is placed at the centre. They dream of systems where collective well-being outweighs individualistic competition.
