A 24/7 live broadcast that's part of The Spell or The Dream, a new project by resident Somerset House Studios artist Tai Shani. The Dream includes programmes from the Resonance FM archive alongside new commissions and archival work by artists, writers, musicians, academics, economists, activists and thinkers, exploring dreaming as a radical act of imagination. At the heart of the project is The Spell, a huge new sculpture taking over the Somerset House courtyard in London: a dreaming figure suspended in time, holding space for crisis, resistance and renewal.
