Playing the Future

A monthly series of art and design activities led by some of Britain’s most inspiring creators.﻿Delving into the futures we might wish for (or hope to avoid), the sessions explore how the experience of imaginative engagement might help society address global challenges, such as climate care. Each session offers the chance to follow alternative paths and each process will be different from the last. The series includes talks, workshops and games led by artists and curators, including Ruth Catlow (Furtherfield), Zoe Svendsen and David Blandy.-﻿-With thanks to UKRI’s Arts and Humanities Research Council for support and the Sussex Humanities Lab for hosting, organised by Professor Ann Light, University of Sussex

Immersing in Alternative Futures

Explore the complexities of a better future through playing David Blandy's tabletop roleplay game "Our Place, No Place".

Explore the complexities of a better future through playing <a href="https://davidblandy.co.uk/" title="https://davidblandy.co.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">David Blandy's</a> (in collaboration with Jo Lindsey Walton) tabletop roleplay game "Our Place, No Place", where we imagine a better world together, and roleplay living a year in the space we have created. We will draw a map together, establishing our terrain through defining different aspects of the space, then each become a character there. The game then offers a series of local events to react to, and a picture of living community will emerge through our play. Please note: this event is scheduled to run for 2 hours, but may extend beyond that if play runs on. There’s no expectation to stay, but for those who can, there’s an opportunity to wrap up a little later. The game was originally commissioned for Brent Biennial by curator Annie Jael Kwan.
