DREAMING ISLANDS. A GEOMANCY OF TIME
A project by Michelle Lim and John Clang

8-12 January 2026

George Town, Penang

What do islands dream of? What happens when they wake? Dreaming Islands passes through George Town like a dream in the night. Anchored by John Clang’s ongoing Reading by an Artist project, Michelle embarks on a curatorial research journey into the histories and stories, hopes and dreams that connect the people of two former Straits Settlements—Singapore and Penang. It is a mapping of time and memory, living in a shared community.
