At its core,<i><span class=\"il\">Plum<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"il\">Road<\/span>\u00a0Tea Dream<\/i>\u00a0is a video game that reflects on Samuel\u2019s experience as a queer person of colour in Belgium. Through the avatar \u2018S.\u2019, Samuel transforms their pain, joy and grief into \u2018game lore\u2019: the comprehensive backstory, history and world-building that defines a game&#8217;s universe.<br \/>\nHere, the memories of S. are safe havens that can be visited. Each one becomes a sanctuary where visitors are invited to slow down and explore. Levels, graphics and tones shift as one wanders further into this world. Wandering means diving deeper into S.\u2019s psyche.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>For Cinema Queer the game is presented in a cinematographic context for the first time. The installation is activated whenever a visitor begins to play. Others can gather, watch, and take over when the current player stops, turning videogaming &amp; streaming culture into a collective shared experience. Once the game is completed and all chapters have been visited, the game resets and the \u201ccollective playthrough\u201d begins anew.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><strong>Baidoo recently won De Ontwerpersprijs (the Design Prize) at the Nederlands Theater Festival for the epic intimacy of *Plum Road Tea Dreams*.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div>Credits:<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/plum-road-tea-dream.com\/credits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/plum-road-tea-dream.com\/credits\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1790795808694000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1sdpso-GBTYn3HhpLKBoaS\">https:\/\/<span class=\"il\">plum<\/span>&#8211;<span class=\"il\">road<\/span>-tea-dream.<wbr \/>com\/credits\/<\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;12px&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2700&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;12px&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;12px&#8221;][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2703&#8243; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2704&#8243; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2702&#8243; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2701&#8243; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1787301795758{padding-top: 80px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}&#8221; z_index=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;fade-row&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text] Samuel Baidoo: Plum Road Tea Dream Tuesday Sep 29 \u2013 Sunday Oct 4 at\u00a017.00 -22.00 weekdays, 12.00-22.00 on the weekend,\u00a0Kulturhuset Hartwig Plum\u00a0Road\u00a0Tea Dream\u00a0is a deeply&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2700,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","portfolio_category":[5],"portfolio_tag":[],"class_list":["post-3033","portfolio_page","type-portfolio_page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_category-exhibitions"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cinemaqueer.se\/cq26\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_page\/3033","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cinemaqueer.se\/cq26\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_page"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cinemaqueer.se\/cq26\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio_page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cinemaqueer.se\/cq26\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cinemaqueer.se\/cq26\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3033"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cinemaqueer.se\/cq26\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2700"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cinemaqueer.se\/cq26\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3033"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cinemaqueer.se\/cq26\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_category?post=3033"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cinemaqueer.se\/cq26\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_tag?post=3033"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
