Episode 5: Ruby
In this episode we hear from Ruby who dreams of aliens and tunnels as a way to represent her experience of the pandemic. The focus also turns to the interaction between Ruby and her interviewer: What kind of listening is required to attune to a stranger’s dream life? How is the skill of listening to the other intertwined with the ability to listen to oneself? And what new kinds of conversation can be made from this form of attunement? This episode is part of larger project investigating how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the dream-life of people living in the British capital, which was developed in partnership with the Museum of London (UK) and the Department of Psychosocial Studies at Birkbeck, University of London. Hosted by Sharon Sliwinski and edited by Erin MacIndoe Sproule with music by Andrew Braun.
