 With the research question “To what extent can multivision dream simulations create a deeper connection between outsiders and survivors of sexualised war crimes?” this thesis explores how complex and often unimaginable experiences can be made more tangible. Developed during my second year in the MEDes – Master of European Design program at Universidade de Aveiro, under the supervision of Rui Costa and Nina Juric (Köln International School of Design), the project combines theoretical research with an interdisciplinary design approach.

At its core lies a multivision dream simulation telling the story of Miryam, a survivor from the Central African Republic. By bridging research on CRSV, dream representation in art history, psychological theories on trauma, and speculative design, the work seeks to foster empathy, awareness, and societal dialogue.


* Note: The title creatively combines the German word for "dream" (Traum) with "Trauma" to reflect the interconnectedness of dreams and traumas explored in this work.
