Reworlding Dandenong with Troy Innocent

So you want to imagine a different world? Start with urban play. 

This winter you’re invited to join artist and academic Troy Innocent for an immersive role-playing game on the streets of Dandenong in 2050.

Reworlding is speculative and relational world building, focusing on nurturing and developing existing patterns in culture, the environment, and society; evolution over revolution. This involves everyday actions for change through doing it together (DIT), speculative design thinking, and the question that comes as one world collapses - how can we start building the next?

Innocent's original game design is informed by research with urbanists, designers, artists, First Peoples, policymakers and gamemakers on design and cities. What kind of world will you build together? Play to find out.
 
Join a three-hour guided, interactive experience in public space to create a shared world through urban play, culminating in a collective world building workshop in the Walker Street Gallery. Assemble your collective, explore and remap the local neighbourhood, then play out the result through tabletop role-play. Did you create the world we want?

This new setting for the game responds to themes and artworks that feature in HOME25: Invisible Cities, offering players a chance to leave a trace of their journey within the exhibition space itself.

Age recommendations: we aim to be inclusive but any children under 16 attending will need to be accompanied by an adult

Reworlding Dandenong with Troy Innocent is part of the public program for HOME 25 Invisible Cities, a roving exhibition now showing across the streets and sites of Dandenong.
