M+ Young People Meet-up: City Building as a Board Game

Explore the impossibility with worldbuilding. Defined as the process to constructing a fictional universe,  worldbuilding is  crucial to setting the stage in games, movies, and writings. Yet, it can be more than a virtual creation. Community-based worldbuilding provides us the opportunity to rethink the social and cultural realities we live in by seeking alternate remedies, answers, and inventions.

Join game masters from game design, performance, and arts and culture. Participants will, together, build a reimagined city using "One Hour Worldbuilders", a worldbuilding toolbox designed by game designer and scholar Kaelen Doyle-Myerscough. Illustrator Miki Ho will help visualize your fictional cities in a drawing session. Share your reimagined city with others around you and find out what elements overlap!

The series of written prompts to jumpstart the event is inspired by M+’s opening exhibition Hong Kong: Here and Beyond and designed by members of the M+ Young Collective.
