Game Night was a series of happenings that presented artist-made games, inspired by underlying themes from popular games such as the Ouija board and Mad Libs. Through playful exchanges created by artists, this series invited participants to interact with works of art, have a conversation, and explore how games illustrate the ways we communicate and reflect on the world around us. Each Game Night was organized around a theme, such as mysticism, the body, language and feminism. These happenings experimented with the format of play as a form of critical discovery as well as engagement with movement and language.
