Extending discourses from Asia-Art-Activism’s first publication ‘Experiments in Care and Collective Disobedience’, writer Yin Lo, and artist Yarli Allison will be facilitating a roleplay board game workshop 'Docks and Seamen', joining their research into the Chinese seafaring communities in the UK in the North West.

The game reconfigures the board game 'Snakes & Ladders' to offer multiple journeys shaped by choices and chances. The roleplay game aims to open up conversations that thread older Sinophone diasporic histories with contemporary questions of Chineseness, migration and community, along with struggles of survival and resilience in the face of racism and precarity.

During the game, we explore what they will encounter, and how their life experience unfolds on shore or at sea. The dices in your hands will carry their fate.
