Artists Larry Achiampong and David Blandy host an afternoon of gaming and conversation, inviting you to compete in a series of gaming tournaments, and come together for the joy of play.

We'll have several gaming stations ready for you to take part, and for an added layer of fun, don't hesitate to bring along your personal handheld console!

Kicking off with an introduction from the artists and a screening of their work, Finding Fanon Part Two (2015) the event celebrates how we connect through games and challenges how technology is used to define us.
