An exhibition rooted in the power of collective dreaming by artists Kite and Alisha B Wormsley

New multimedia and digital works on view Wagner Gallery February 26 – June 26, 2026

CAMBRIDGE, MA — February 12, 2026 | Wagner Foundation, a Cambridge, MA-based foundation committed to investing in health equity, economic wellbeing, and the transformative power of art and culture, announces Welcome to Cosmologyscape, by multidisciplinary artists Kite (Oglála Lakȟóta) and Alisha B Wormsley. Cosmologyscape is a community tool that empowers visitors and online participants to dream for different futures together, fusing new and old technologies through a uniquely critical and hopeful way.  The artists were commissioned to transform their years-long interactive research into a site-specific installation that focuses on the participation of the Boston-area public. Anyone from the Boston-area can submit their dreams via the Cosmologyscape website, which are transformed through a series of algorithms and technology tools into an animation on view at the gallery, alongside textiles, furniture, and sound artworks which have been generated through the artists’ interpretation Lakȟóta philosophy, Afrofuturism, and Black quilting traditions. The resulting works, including textiles, digital animation, furniture, and sound will be on view at Wagner Gallery, February 26 – June 26, 2026.

Developed and inspired by the Cosmologyscape methodology, a framework for communal dreaming and the creation of tools that move across time, worlds, and possibilities, Welcome to Cosmologyscape is co-curated by Abigail Satinsky, Wagner Foundation Senior Program Officer & Curator, Art & Culture, and Maggie Wong, Wagner Gallery Coordinator.

This iteration at Wagner Foundation has given us the opportunity to zoom out and express how our methodology for community dreaming is adaptable to the needs of Black and Indigenous communities. We have imagined our methods as interconnected worlds of ancestors and decision-making, expanding how we express those methods through experimental dream furniture, handmade textiles, and mural-sized graphics.
