Plum Road Tea Dream
Plum Road Tea Dream is a multiformat project by artist Samuel Baidoo (they/them) and their collaborators, taking on various forms: a video game, a performance, and an exhibition. Reflecting on their experience as a queer person of color, Baidoo transforms their pain, joy, and grief into game lore. They created the avatar ‘S.’, whose memories and safe havens you are invited to visit.
Each space becomes a sanctuary where visitors, players, and audience members are encouraged to slow down and wander. Exploring means diving deeper into S.’s psyche; wandering and encountering becomes an archaeological process of grief, healing, and play. Levels, graphic styles, and tones shift as one ventures further into this world — and, in the process, into ourselves. This journey unfolds both virtually and physically, alternating between in-game environments and out-of-game sculptures, images, and texts.
Plum Road Tea Dream reimagines the video game beyond its associations with violence and imperialism — reclaiming the medium to centre connection, introspection, and healing. The game becomes a way to link the individual and the collective.
