The Barriers Game

By  Luminara Florescu 2024 - 2025

The Barriers Game is a game I started developing as part of my DYCP Arts Council England grant.  The idea of the game is to lose. If you can stay at home and still be able to sustain your art career, then you have won the Game.  

The game has had various designs and I hope to develop the format further -including a digital/online game. However, the original text has stayed the same. It aims to illustrate the ludicrous barriers many Sick/Disabled/Caregiver artists face when trying to sustain a career in an ableist art world.
