Extended started with the four-month art project Adventures in Slumberland on 15 March 2025 with a new group of members.
In this new workshop series, Extended takes young people on a creative journey of discovery. They’ll explore the magical, beautiful—and sometimes scary—world of dreams and nightmares. Dreams are more than just weird stories in your head. They let you imagine other worlds, escape the chaos of everyday life, and they can even help you come up with fresh ideas. What if you could use your imagination to actually change something?
In the spring of 2025, Extended dives deep into the world of dreams. These workshops are inspired by Mexican artist Alejandro Galván, whose exhibition Vultures & Fireflies creates a colorful dream world. His art blends stories from his neighborhood with myths, comics, and gaming culture—where fantasy and reality merge.
With the help of artists, a coach, and the facilities of Marres and the Jan van Eyck Academie, you’ll have the chance to create and shape your own dream world.
