Uncle Dreaming Potato

Activity _ Collect 100 Dreams, Turn Dreams into Illustrations and Exhibitions

Time _ 2019.1

Dreams are the most unknown territory to human being.

Some say they are outcomes of over-active nerves of our brains.

Some say they are reflections of feelings and desires in the deepest part of our minds.

Some say they are predictions of the future. Some say they are doors to another universe in parallel to ours.

Huangbian, where the Guangdong Times Museum is located, is home to residents of all origins who share the same metro train, look up to the same sky, but dream of different things. “You dream what you scheme.” Can what we dream of really mirror how we live in reality or what we hope for the future? Can people living in the same community possibly share dreams that alike?

100 hot sweet potatoes are in exchange for 100 Huangbian dreams this winter, and 30 of them will be hidden in the secret garden in the community. Relax and follow the “Sleepwalking around Huangbian” map to enter the dreams of the Huangbian residents, and you’ll see a mysterious story that has never been exposed before.
