The best thing to do on a typhoon day is to stay inside and play Lyra’s @galacticleelee art board game. Trama, gender, age, passport, family wealth, education—what else can influence an artist to realize their dreams? But Lyra keeps reminding me: don’t worry. Even if you accidentally draw a “bad passport,” the game will eventually turn your understanding of value upside down. From the very beginning, the setup made it clear this wasn’t going to be an easy game. The world is scattered with various man-made and natural disasters. Whether you can choose to marry or divorce may not even be within your control. Players randomly draw a set of dreams—one public, one secret. How should we navigate such an art world? How do we survive and stay true to ourselves? And how can we use strategies to turn our dreams into reality? More importantly, do these so-called art dreams even come from within us? None of it is easy. At times, I even feel a little discouraged. But is it possible to find hope through playing and connecting with each other? I think we can. - from forever friend 🌀 #art #boardgame #labor #artworld
