Inspired by Nam June Paik’s “Good Morning Mr. Orwell” and the Wide Awakes “Awakening 2020” movement, State of the Artist: We’re Only Dreaming is a variety show that looks beyond the election at the future we dream of and the continued efforts made to radically reimagine the structures we live within.
