Plum Road Tea Dream
Plum Road Tea Dream unfolds as a video game, performance, and exhibition. Drawing from their experience as a queer person of colour, Samuel Baidoo transforms their grief, joy, and memory into the story and mythology of the game. Through the avatar ‘S.’, visitors are invited to explore personal sanctuaries—spaces to slow down, reflect, and wander.
With each encounter, you dive deeper into S.’s psyche, framing exploration as a gentle archaeology of healing and connection. Moving fluidly between virtual environments and physical installations, Plum Road Tea Dream reimagines the video game as a space for introspection rather than conquest.
• Samuel Baidoo (they/them) received their Master's in the Arts with a focus on Illustration and Graphic Design from Sint-Lucas in 2015 and graduated as a dancer from the Dance department at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp in 2018.
They take on different roles in the performing arts field. As a performer, they co-create and tour works for young audiences and adults in Belgium and abroad for makers and companies such as Koen de Preter, Maud Le Pladec, Lola Bogaert, Agostina D'Alessandro, Nat Gras, Tuur Marinus, Michiel Vandevelde, and Nikima Jagudajev. As a mentor and coach, they worked with Rino Sokol and Hernan Mancebo Martinez, the students of the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp, Annelies Van Hullebusch, Zoë Chungong, and Kaori Ishiguro. As part of the Hanafubuki collective, they merge their love for movement and strong visual aesthetics while enjoying collaborative work.
As an individual maker, they created wijtwee//nosotrosdos for Nat Gras in collaboration with Hernan Mancebo Martinez and grot-nest-tempel-huis for tout petit (2024). They presented Huis voor Tranen during STORMOPKOMST in De Warande in 2022 and 2023.
