This Tuesday night, Whatcom Community College is hosting two inspirational visitors. Tay and Val, independent filmmakers, have traveled around the US over the past three years, gathering the dreams and hopes of the people they meet. They'll be speaking at Syre Auditorium at Whatcom Community College, and collecting photos of attendee's dreams for an installation at Village Books.
Tay and Val were speakers at TEDxWWU on June 1, an independently-organized version of the famous annual conference. The two are women from Singapore but have traveled 11 countries, according to the introductory video on their website. After arriving in Bellingham in June, they made contact with Ciao Thyme, Village Books, and Whatcom Community College Leadership Institute. They wrote a blog post about their journey in Bellingham so far on their website.
1123 Productions, a Bellingham production company, made this video after interviewing the two women.
Dreams Unlimited will be accompanied by Swil Kanim, a violinist from the Lummi Reservation. Here's a video of him performing at WWU, and an article written about him in Klipsun Magazine.
Tickets are $10, or $5 for students. The proceeds will go toward what the Dreams Unlimited website describes as a "public art installation" at Village Books. The installation, to be unveiled November 9, will be made of the photos collected at Tuesday's event. Proceeds will also go toward Fractured Atlas, the non-profit charity sponsoring Dreams Unlimited.
