Dream Weaving: Freud Museum

Community Tapestry Project

The Freud Museum London invites the people of Camden to join local tapestry artist Melanie at various venues around the borough for afternoons of the therapeutic weaving of dreams. These drop-in sessions are open to all ages and are a great way to learn new skills, relax on a lunch break, meet new people and share your dreams. The project brings together the thoughts and rituals of the Freud Museum London’s two historic personalities: Sigmund and Anna Freud.

The activity of weaving has given language some of its profoundest metaphors. Past and present are ‘woven together’ or we speak of a ‘weave’ of personal and social relations. This tapestry project weaves together: the ideas and influences of father and daughter; the dream images that we share form our private realms; and a diverse community labouring in a common task.
