HOW TO START A MOVEMENT (The RPG) is a Role Playing Game that was re-enacted multiple times in the restaurant of an contemporary art museum. A group of 15 participants would each pick an envelope with a role and some instructions. Together they would navigate to the museum as a temporary gang, where they would question and disrupt the script and rules present in this space through their given scores. They would witness each other’s actions as well as the impact it had on the dynamics of the space and the audience present. Afterwards they would be welcomed back to reflect and share their experiences.
about how to start a movement
HOW TO START A MOVEMENT is a series of public interventions and missions in which different individuals get the opportunity to explore, question and disrupt the protocols, dynamics and rules of (semi) public spaces, institutions and venues. The missions consist of instructions you receive and execute together or individually. You can receive these instructions through printed cards, digital channels, verbally and so on. Some of the missions are role-playing games with specific roles and instructions, others are workshops, multi- interpretable assignments or instructions you can do on your own whenever you feel the need to raise your voice or respond to the harsh reality. how to start a movement is an artistic practice and a methodology and a toolbox at the same time that can respond to different contexts and centralise different subjects. This practice consists out of many different performative set-ups that can be shuffled or moved around, combined or taken apart depending on what it needs to respond to.
