About

21st March | 2025 | 6pm
Bonington Gallery
Free

Bonington Gallery is opening the doors to its first-ever exhibition to celebrate tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs), and this is an opportunity to come along for a first look around.

Curated by David Blandy, Rebecca Edwards and Jamie Sutcliffe, Weird Hope Engines reimagines Bonington Gallery as a hybrid lab — a testing site for the development of new worlding experiences, an active gaming hub, and an archive of maps, concept artworks, rulebooks, and gaming curiosities.

Accompanying in its Vitrines is Nottingham Subcultural Fashion in the 1980s, featuring archive material, information and clothing that documents the dynamism of the independent fashion scene of Nottingham in the 1980s.

Enjoy a free welcome drink, delicious food (first come, first served!) and music. All welcome but reserve your free ticket to avoid disappointment.
