What does it mean to dream alone and together? Is it possible to hear the sound of you dreaming?
We are pleased to announce the tenth edition of POETRY FROM THE FUTURE, a special event to commemorate The Sound of You Dreaming, the upcoming solo exhibition of Maltese contemporary artist Paul Scerri, at Spazju Kreattiv, also in collaboration with Valletta Contemporary.
In this extraordinary edition, which takes inspiration from the ceramicist Paul Scerri, we’ll be sinking poetic teeth into necessary impossibles, through the imaginative process.
It is a well known fact that our dreams follow archetypal patterns that cut across time and culture. Dreams are a rupture in the process of understanding the world because they contradict everyday notions of time and space, but at the same time they also contain strange and deep truths, both personal and collective.
Paul Scerri works through these ideas in the collection he is developing for The Sound of You Dreaming. His stylised visual language poeticises the contradictions which guide the unfolding of human relationships, rendering them in an artistic language born from over 40 years of working with ceramic. His evocative and alchemical sculptures find parallels with the technique of dreaming, both in terms of form and content.
POETRY FROM THE FUTURE invites you to write verse within this world, flick through your archives for something that could be in dialogue with it, or read your favorite poets according to theme.

The Sound of You Dreaming will bring together a collection of new works by Paul Scerri. It is curated by Gabriel Zammit with associate curator Andrew Borg Wirth.
Poetry From the Future is curated by Sam Vassallo, and was born on the stairs of Strait Street at Rumi, Valletta.
The Sound of You Dreaming and all its auxiliary events are supported by Arts Council Malta.
