David Blandy's "Diachronic" at MAHAL

Produced as part of the 9th Çanakkale Biennial, David Blandy's TTRPG (tabletop role-playing game) work “Diachronic”, co-curated by Ulrika Flink and Deniz Erbaş, in collaboration with John Hansard Gallery and with the support of the British Council Creative Collaboration Grant, is experienced again at Mahal Sanat between 16-26 January.

“Diachronic is a game that considers our relationship to the past and its stories, who has access to that past and who writes that history. You play as a time traveller, an Envoy, who has a mission to retrieve artefacts in time periods before a future Explorer has a chance to destroy or pillage them.
