Sun May 24 | [untitled games event] #5: "strange brew"
A Permanent Echo + Yuha's Nightmares + Jana Romanova + Benelux Speedrunner Gathering + Wyvern Tales + The Oracle for Transfeminist Tech
Join us on Sunday 24 May 2026 for an evening of games and talks about rewiring potentials and resisting the default option.
The six works in [untitled games event] edition #5 upend the templates and flip the scripts. They refuse the map and reject the territory, suggesting counterintuitive approaches that take us somewhere new, somewhere surprising.
A Permanent Echo is a game about piecing together how we will remember (and judge) the decisions that shape our future. Yuha’s Nightmares unleashes glitches as horror, but also presents glitches as escape.
Is it possible to combine a lecture and live-action role-playing? Together with artist Jana Romanova, we’ll find out! Learn what larp is and how it is practiced today in contemporary art while playing someone who's attending the lecture... and maybe has different expectations about it.
Nomad Studio will treat us to Wyvern Tales, an epic work of homebrew magic and the first old-school RPG for the Atari Lynx.
Riekelt Goucem from the Benelux Speedrunner Gathering (BSG) will talk about videogame speedrunning and how the BSG built its extraordinary community.
And finally, you will be able to visit The Oracle for Transfeminist Technologies, a divination card deck joining us from the future.
We can’t wait to see you all and experience these works together.

TALK + LIVE-ACTION ROLE-PLAYING: Jana Romanova

Is it possible to combine a lecture and live-action role-playing? Let's find out. In this hyper-short lecture, you'll (possibly) know what larp is and how it is practiced today in contemporary art while playing someone who's attending this lecture... and maybe has different expectations about it.
The lecture is performed by all of you and Jana Romanova, a contemporary artist working with games, worldbuilding, and role-playing.
Tell all your friends, bring all your friends.
As ever, we would love to hear your thoughts.
Until the 24th,
