ARTIFACTING:
A collaborative sto rytelling workshop

w/ Ríon Duffy Murphy


How do we understand a place which is unknown to us, but strangely familiar? Start with a peculiar spoon (or hat, or chair, or record player , or rock, or hen house-) and wander outwards from there.

In this wo rkshop we will become visitors to the fictional island of Inis Eile. Using a system similar to solo tabletop role playing games, we will discover ar tifacts on the island, tell stories about them together, and decide how th ey shape the history and culture of the island.

Participants will be provided with ARTIFACTING zines and guided through using them together. Y ou don’t need any previous experience in TTRPGs, writing, or storytelling - just curiosity and a desire to play.
