^{_⋆ NOVA - feminist speculative LARP} by Ana de Almeida, Alicja Rogalska, and Vanja Smiljanić


Designed for feminist and queer activists, the game invites participants to collectively imagine and improvise a piece of feminist political fiction — a future world free from patriarchal oppression.

Due to a structural imbalance of forces, grassroots initiatives are often limited to a reactive position. Fighting against attacks upon their organisations and for the survival of their activities, they are often left with the feeling of being one step behind. Creating a speculative space allows the participants to share survival strategies, exercise solidarity and intersectionality, create solidarity networks and form new alliances between different emancipatory movements free from the sometimes suffocating weight of present conditions and structures.

The game welcomed 20 queer and feminist activists, designers, and performers. I contributed as a LARP (Live Action Role Playing) performer, a trickster character called Jeans, who actively engaged in and stirred up the collaborative narrative and world-building process.

Commissioned by VBKÖ and Kunsthalle Wien, hosted at Museum Martin Gropius Bau, Berlin, Germany
