This season explores gaming and how physical and virtual worlds are becoming more and more inseparable.
Accompanying our exhibition 'States of Play: Roleplay Reality' is a wide-ranging programme which explores the notion of play from multiple perspectives. Beyond playground or entertainment, ‘States of Play’ reveals the relevance of play for innovation, creativity and wellbeing.
Exhibition

Film, Workshop, Performance
A weekend of exhibitions, performances, live music, talks and cinema, as our building became a hub of creative festivity. Artists from our past and future filled our spaces.
