Dreamweb, Aboriginal Australia platform with education, art and culture

Welcome at Dreamweb !

Dreamweb is an Aboriginal Australia platform founded by Lucien Lecarme. He got inspired during his study of Antropology with Prof. Ad Borsboom in Nijmegen in 1987. After this, he visited twice the Aboriginal community of Ramingining in the Top End, and other parts of Australia.

There, he was touched by the aboriginal way of life, it's pureness, creativity and spirituality. He decided back in Holland to create Dreamweb and started to write articles, to organise exhibitions, real and virtual, and make educational programmes for the schools in Holland. He also managed Aboriginal storyteller Maureen Watson for 2 European tours along the big festivals and venues. Dreamweb works together with Aboriginal people and communities, to always maintain a direct link to the source. At this moment we arrange performances with Torres Strait Islander Gavin Ware.

Mural and Stolen Generations Exhibition in Zoetermeer.

Aboriginal Artist Dr. Pamela Croft was in Holland in april 2006 for the exhibition “Zoetermeer Down Under : living in two worlds ” organised by Dreamweb and the city museum of Zoetermeer , a town adjacent to The Hague . What comes alive with the help of her hands, and the hands of schoolchildren, visitors, artists and immigrants in Zoetermeer is a stunning piece of mutual art. Using Aboriginal symbols as a connecting force, Pamela creates a story on one of the bigger museumwalls. It is the story of the connection of Holland and Australia , the 400 years of bounds are celebrated this year, and the connection of people in general. With the display of the Duyfken, the Dutch explorers ships that once touched Australia ’s soil in 1606, the story begins.
