WORLDPLAY is the opening move of a network of avant-garde revolutionaries LARPing as some kind of commons economics activists. It is also the main title of a new event series, conceived as a pop-up physical hub for prefiguring and prehearsing postcapitalist futures through fiction, performance and play.

A beckoning call to sci-fi writers, game-makers, artivists, LARPers, weird economists and eutopian dreamers to collectively scribble futures, materialise speculative artefacts, and devise ways of hijacking public spaces, cyberspace and eventually reality itself.

The first edition of WORLDPLAY issues a beckoning call to budding sci-fi writers, game-makers, artivists, LARPers, weird economists and general eutopian dreamers to collectively scribble futures, materialise speculative artefacts from parallel presents, establish living archives for radical imagination, and devise ways of hijacking public spaces, cyberspace and eventually reality itself.

Part experimental/experiential playground, part aspiring peer-to-peer guerrilla futuring social network, WORLDPLAY channels international and intersectional postcapitalist desire through a seed offering of counter-hegemonic fiction engines and games as social organisations.
