🌐 A world-building movement ?

Random_Kingdom is a French association founded by Naomi Cassim in 2021. It unites emerging creators across Europe to co-imagine a shared fantasy world — with its own tales, languages, characters, items, symbols, maps and costumes. Built as a platform for co-creation it invites artists to explore collective imagination together.

🏹 Mission

We gather creators who share values of emancipation from contemporary violence, using fantasy as a tool for co-creation and alternative futures. Rooted in radical feminism, decolonialism, ecology and posthumanism, we imagine worlds beyond patriarchy and capitalism — where humans reclaim their role as custodians of the land. We aim to give visibility to emerging artists, game creators and dreamers based in Europe.

🔧 Methodology

• The natural cycle of the seasons is the one in which Random_Kingdom grows and punctuates itself. Every 3 months we celebrate our achievements and prepare for a new creative phase, which corresponds to a new circle of creative people working together on a common project.
• Inclusiveness, co-creation, community, mutual-aid, knowledge sharing, exploration, kindness are our fundamental values. Explore our values by clicking on this link.

🎀 Who is Random_Kingdom ?

• Since 2021, Random Kingdom has grown through the contributions of over 300 creators. Each brought their skills, presence, and curiosity to co-create this shared world — whether through performance, sculpture, painting, costume-making, sound design, storytelling, visual and digital arts, or game design. This collective craft of many hands and disciplines is what has given shape to Random Kingdom’s evolving universe.
• Martin Duthey was the first member to join Random Kingdom and has remained present throughout its journey. He shaped the early visual forms of the world through his illustrations and poems, created many of its characters and designs, and gave life to our Instagram presence. Beyond his artistic contributions, Martin’s steady involvement and support have been integral to the collective spirit of Random Kingdom.
• Random_Kingdom was conceived by Naomi Cassim as a total artwork — a world-building experiment with the ambition of becoming a video game. Since 2021, Naomi has founded and managed the association, developed the concepts of each experience, curated and selected artists, facilitated cross-border collaborations, and woven a community across disciplines. She has also overseen communication, promotion, event production and the overall coordination that carried the project from vision to reality.

⏳ Roadmap

Conceived in the Aveyron mountains of France in 2021, Random_Kingdom has unfolded through a constellation of artistic gatherings across Europe. Each chapter opened in a different place, with new circles of creators contributing their craft. Together, these experiences form the milestones of a four-year worldbuilding journey — the pieces of a single total artwork.
