Counters

Les came up with brilliant counters idea!

Pallant House Gallery visit

The exhibition is going to go up in a 7 weeks! Together with Les we have visited Pallant House Gallery again and had the last look at the walls of the space. We are nearly ready!

Game under development

The game is now going to be built on this square layout.

It already looks more like a board game!!!

Play board game! Working title: Asylum.

The walks and our mapping exercises started coming together in a form of a board game - working title: Asylum. In the game you are making your way from the Home Office (the starting point, the moment of arrival) through various locations (Central Library, police station, All Saints Red Cross, Friendship House, ASDA, the beach) to reach the Home Office again (this time to receive your British Passport).

The game is still in the making so bear with us while we continue working on it!

We have already started talking about launching the game as a commercial product, although we all agreed that there is not much fun in playing the game live - 24/7.

Asylum counters - made out of pictures of us all.

Jinnie, Karim and Ania discuss the game rules.

Saadia - our first winner!

The first trip out

Armed with cameras we set off for our first walk from Friendship House. The weather was great, the spirits were high - we decided to go to the sea.

The pink cameras and ice-ceam combined with the foreign accents made us look like tourists not asylum seekers.

Saadia found a spot by the sea where she would like to see a statue of liberty - dedicated to all people who were forced to leave their country and uncertain of their next day.
