Dreams of a Life

Anciela presents their Spring Summer collection with a short film titled “Dreams of a Life” inspired by the story of Jennifer’s grandmother who died tragically under suspicious circumstances in Chile during the dictatorship in the ‘80s.

As a homage, the film shows an imaginary dreamlike conversation between granddaughter and grandmother featuring a live performance by Latin singer Desta French to set the mood. In an effort to reconnect with her grandmother, this collection explores themes of cultural change and healing through art as theArpilleras did for women in the ‘70s.

Teaming up with London-based Latin writer and activist Priscilla Hernandez from Growwithher who wrote the poems for the film, resulting in a profoundcollective piece channelling a nostalgic yet hopeful feminine energy.
