Serendipity Arts: FOOD X PLAY Open Call

Do you have a game that plays with food? Or an idea that turns the table on how we think about what’s on our plate?

Edible Issues is curating a special space at Serendipity Arts Festival 2025 – and they’re looking for food-themed games that inspire creativity, spark conversations, and unpack the complexities of our food systems in playful, engaging ways.

We’re inviting designers, artists, educators, chefs, food nerds, and creative collectives to submit concepts or ready-to-play games that explore food through the lens of:

Climate & sustainability
Food histories & futures
Culture & memory
Access & equity
Food tech & speculation
From board games and card decks to all things offline that spark joy, invite connection, and get people thinking about our food systems — while having a little fun along the way!

What they’re looking for:

Games or interactive experiences centred around food themes
Play formats that educate, inspire, or provoke thought about food systems
Works that are accessible and inclusive for festival audiences
Original concepts or existing works open for public showcase

Selected games will be a part of Food x Play under Edible Issues’ curation at the Serendipity Arts Festival 2025 in December.
