WHAT IS DREAMOCRACY?

Dreamocracy in America (Nuevo DIA) is a take-no-prisoners time-travelling transdisciplinary tour of America that picks up Alexis de Tocqueville’s journey into the American character where he left off, and completes his epic project by examining immigrant and refugee detention centers, Native reservations, and communities on both sides of the 1831 US border.

Led by artists Victor Payan and Pocha Peña, Dreamocracy in America is a Creative Capital project.
