Our place, no place by David Blandy

Our Place, No Place is a tabletop role-playing game by David Blandy, (in collaboration with Dr Jo Lindsey Walton) that helps us to consider speculative worlding and emancipatory gaming. Participants draw a map and then step into the lives of characters who inhabit it. Our space, 200 years in the future, is no longer abstract, but an imaginatively lived reality. The game insists we will survive these traumas, but asks what will life then be like, in this more collaborative world?

Influenced by Avery Alder’s The Quiet Year, Ursula Le Guin’s The Disposessed, Octavia Butler’s Parable of The Sower and Marge Piercy’s Woman on the Edge of Time.

Our Place No Place is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
