Dream Action Factory is a series of online happenings in conjunction with the PMA exhibition Carrie Moyer and Sheila Pepe: Tabernacles for Trying Times. In this series, artists, scholars, and social organizations delve into a wide variety of topics, challenging us to come together with renewed urgency, make time and space for dialogue, and to rediscover, amongst our many threads of identity, our common social fabric.
