These stories aren’t about saints or superheroes – the only difference between the people in this book and the rest of us is that at some point, they left their comfort zones, defied their fears, and decided to act for change.

Nelson Mandela, Pussy Riot, Dalai Lama, Patti Smith, Muhammad Yunus, Marina Abramovic, Richard Branson, Alek Wek, Annie Lennox, and Ruby Rose are just a few of the more one hundred activists, artists, Nobel Peace Prize laureates, tortured men, mutilated women, passionate kids, royal queers, and ambitious billionaires who are included in this book. Their stories are touching and thought-provoking, and their inspirational messages touch on both the dark and the light aspects of life.

WE HAVE A DREAM is an international book and exhibition project featuring portraits taken by Albert Wiking, one of Sweden's leading photographers. Oscar Edlund interviewed the participants, and journalist Daniel Rydén wrote the articles.
