The culmination of his Spring 2024Research Residency, an exhibition by Chandler Jennings will be on view at Welcome Gallery from July 5-25.
During his residency, Chandler is creating"Justice.” Part storytelling game and part interactive installation, “Justice” asks participants to theorize, build, and test a system of justice in an imaginary society (with implications for our own).
About the Artist (courtesy of the artist)
Chandler Jennings is an analog games maker, writer, and academic. His games try to challenge participants to explore the limits of their political imagination and consider serious issues from unexpected angles. Chandler is 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, Chandler received his BA from Pomona College in 2014 and MA from the University of Virginia in 2023 (both in English). He is very happy to be living in Charlottesville with his wife, Michelle, and their dog, Joni.
