🌿Roleplay Game Workshop
📅 4 MAY 2023
Join for an a gaming experience, “Docks & Seamen”, created and led by Yarli Allison @yarliallison and writer Yin Lo @yin.lo.writer. Drawing from their respective research into the Chinese seafaring communities in the UK in the North West, the game reconfigures the board game ‘snakes & ladders’ to offer multiple journeys shaped by choices and chances. The roleplay game aims to open up conversations that thread older Sinophone diasporic histories with contemporary questions of Chineseness, migration and community, along with struggles of survival and resilience in the face of racism and precarity.
🌿Roundtable Discussion
📅 4 MAY 2023
The game session is followed by a roundtable discussion led by curator and co-editor, Annie Jael Kwan @alikati, with artist filmmaker Clare Chun-yu Liu @clarechunyuliu and Kai Syng Tan @kaisyngtan (Twitter @kaisyngtan) (artist, curator, academic, consultant, agitator, change-maker, volunteer and gatecrasher).
With further reference to the publication’s themes, the discussion explores artistic strategy for engaging with notions of diasporic Asian identities, communities and solidarities within the post Brexit, post-pandemic challenges and the precarious cultural landscape of the UK.
