The Stories We Tell Ourselves: Self-Mythology + Dreaming Workshop

A blue and white dreamy cloud background with a sculpture of a man with his head on his chin. It’s The Thinker sculpture by Auguste Rodin. Large silver text over the sculpture says: The Stories We Tell Ourselves: Self-Mythology + Dreaming Workshop. Below that is smaller, white italicized text: who do I want to be? who am I? where am I going? why am I going there? why am I here?

When we think of myth, we think polytheistic gods, creation stories, punished mortals, and fantastical beasts. Much like these mythological stories, self-mythology (also referred to as personal mythology) are the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves, the world, and our place in it. The Stories We Tell Ourselves: Self-mythology Dream + Workshop will be where we come together to be the authors of ourselves through collective imagining and dreaming.

Mythologies are stories we learn and share. In our playful workshop we are the authors of ourselves via collective imagining + dreaming.

Join us for a deep dive into self-mythology, dreaming  and collective imagining at The Stories We Tell Ourselves workshop!

Venue to be announced!

Six is a multi-medium designer, artist, and writer based in Brooklyn, NY. They often explore themes including the concept of self, phenomenology, epistemology, collective imaginaries, and futurity. Interrogating established "realities" against alternative potentialities, their work challenges accepted knowledge, embraces contradictions, and subverts expectations. They encourage individuals to question everything and to seek themselves as valuable sources of knowledge. Six aspires to continuously be the dreamer and the dream, and in doing so, inspire others to be the same.
