LARP test: The Weather Report by Jana Romanova
Sign up for our second playground session at .zip, a testbed for LARPs and other collective worldbuilding and storytelling games. This time around we invite artist Jana Romanova, who will be playtesting a LARP on family dynamics and communication issues. Save your spot by shooting us an email at hello@zipspace.nl, since there are very limited spots available.
The Weather Report is a larp playtest about finding a connection with meaningful people when your images of the world and ideologies are completely different. Is there still love when the only thing you can safely discuss without crossing the boundary of a heated argument is talking about the Weather? Maybe food as well, but this is already a slippery road.
This is an abstract scene-based larp that explores some sitcom tropes of awkward family dinners and exaggerated misunderstandings, with the main mechanic of talking only about the weather when trying to talk about what's important.
RSVP ︎
If you would like to join the LARP test session, please sign up via email to hello@zipspace.nl as there are very limited spots available.

Garagesale: Salon de Refuses
A cemetery of concepts where killed darlings lie; a maze filled with deconstructed lovers; a sanctuary for misfitted misprints. salon des refuses stands as a monument to the beauty found in the rejected, the unconventional, and the radical.
Born from the era of trash-hacking, our residents at .zip have delved into the depths of their digital wastebaskets to resurrect works that defy norms and challenge perceptions.
You'll find that some pieces are whispering for a second chance. these works, marked for sale, carry with them the promise of transformation—not just for the piece itself but for .zip as a community.
All proceeds from the sale of these artifacts will be channeled back into improving .zip and organizing public events in 2024, fostering a cycle of continuous creation.
