Oneiric Kitchen is a collaborative project by artist-filmmaker Chiemi Shimada and wellbeing practitioner Susie Cunningham. The work explores our relationship with sleep and addresses issues surrounding it. Developed through therapeutic cooking workshops in the UK and Japan and facilitated by partners Primary (Nottingham) and Documentary Dream Center (Tokyo) the project created a safe space for participants to reflect on their sleep experiences.   

Oneiric Kitchen culminates in a video installation and single-channel film of the same name. Following a work-in-progress screening at Broadway (22 November 2024) Oneiric Kitchen is available to view online for one week, via Primary’s website and YouTube channel here:

Oneiric Kitchen is supported by the British Council's Connections Through Culture grant programme. The British Council's Connections Through Culture grants support new cultural collaborations between the UK and East Asia. This event is supported by Near Now.  

This film has subtitles in English and Japanese.
