Roots and Relics game design workshop with David Blandy

Times: 10.30am – 12.30pm & 2 – 4pm

Roots and Relics is the 3rd year of Meadow Arts’ BorderLands programme, which explores borders, identity and heritage. In this programme artist David Blandy uses world building games and storytelling to create a new virtual and tabletop game. Working with participants he will show how role-play techniques, and digital tools can expand ideas around society and history. The workshops will help generate ideas for an exhibition in Summer 2027.

There are two workshops you can join, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Anyone is welcome to join, and no previous game design experience is needed to take part.

This event is in partnership with Open Arms Kington. BorderLands in 2026 – 2027 is funded by the de Laszlo Foundation and Arts Council England.
