How do you build a virtual world, starting with a blank canvas?

Those Who Hold Up The Sky is a new city-building game from artists BRiGHTBLACK inspired by Manchester and co-created by a group of Greater Mancunians known as Fusion Factory.

We caught up with BRiGHTBLACK's Simon Wilkinson and Myra Appannah to discuss the beauty of games design. Hear the artists discuss their practice, the spontaneity of creative play and the process of making Those Who Hold Up The Sky.

Those Who Hold Up The Sky runs from 28 February to 2 March 2025.
