Gathering Storm
The Monsters' Time Is Over But Some Still Remain; A Game About Colonial Agriculture and Postcolonial RevolutionGathering Storm is a self-contained game system that allows players to add elements onto maps while imagining postcoloniaal sci-fi worlds through card decks of characters, secrets from hidden histories like colonial food production with insects using DDT causing ecological destruction. The story follows the aftermath of colonialism in Kenya and how pineapple played an important role as part of a British scheme to create indigenous land owners for authority consolidation within agriculture but failed due to rebellion that disrupted their control over native lands which were later repopulated by natives, eventually leading up to what is now considered global climate change. The game has been developed through partnership with Delfina Foundation's fifth season and Gaia Art Foundation as part of Politics of Food series in collaboration between Avery Alder McDonal and Tyler Crumrine from the University at Buffalo who helped develop OrbiTal, Jack Harrision for Orbit, Ursula K. Le Guin, Mark Diaz Truman with Beak, Feather & Bone by TyLee Croume and The Deep Forest as part of an art series curated together by Octavia Butler and Avery AldeR McDonal at the Gaai Art Foundation in
