"Dream States" presents the work of five animation artists takes us on a fascinating journey to explore the pursuits of human connection and our relationships to technology & infrastructure, the natural world, and personal desires. The exhibition includes hand-drawn and painted cel animations, as well as original artwork from the films.

In each piece, the filmmaker takes stock of the world as it is and responds in kind, playing with surrealism and varying tones of repetition, color, sound, and narrative storytelling. The works are a response to the seen, revealing unexpected, unseen, interiors that in some ways feel more real than their inputs.

Featured artists include Sumito Sakakibara (Japan), Shunsaku Hayashi (Japan), Moïa Jobin-Paré (Canada), Ala Nunu (Poland/Portugal), and Sofia El Khyari (Morocco/France).

On the closing night of the show, there will be an outdoor screening featuring work from animators Don Hertzfeldt, Anna Samo, Lisa La Bracio, Elyse Kelly, and Geoff Marslett.

The exhibition will remain on display through May 13.
