Chandler Jennings

Artist-in-Residence, Exhibiting Artist

I am an analog games maker, writer, and academic. My games try to challenge participants to explore the limits of their political imagination and consider serious issues from unexpected angles. I’m particularly interested in how storytelling and imagination can translate into political agency and how these can move beyond the game-space to work towards justice in the real world. Born and raised in Austin, Texas, I received my BA from Pomona College in 2014 and my MA from the University of Virginia in 2023 (both in English). I’m very happy to be living in Charlottesville with my wife, Michelle, and our dog, Joni.

Chandler is the Spring 2024 Artist-in-Residence.
