In this limited series designed by 2025 Poet-in-Residence Traci Brimhall, contemporary poets will guide visitors in a lucid “dream walk” of the Guggenheim, leading participants on a journey not of answers, but of unfolding questions.
Rather than looking to art and poems for wisdom, how can the questions that they inspire be a better lantern in the darkness? Stopping at select artworks chosen by each guiding poet, participants will respond to poetry readings and generative prompts that invite them to ponder, imagine, and open space within themselves. The dream walk becomes a way for visitors to enter their own wonder, deepen curiosity, and step into a dream state where being and making so often happens.
Dream walks will be led by poets Traci Brimhall, Nicole Callihan, Tiana Clark, Heid E. Erdrich, Eugenia Leigh, Erika Meitner, Brynn Saito, and Leah Umansky.
$30, $25 members, $19 students. Includes museum admission
