How do shared games shape the future of storytelling? Together with asses.masses creators Milton Lim and Laurel Green, we will explore our crucial roles as game designers for critical systems. Learn more about how cooperative games impact how we live, work, and build communities. Foster collaborative storytelling and scaffold emergent roleplay through hands-on prototyping.
Milton and Laurel will share insights from their solo and shared projects – live experiences across a variety of mediums designed to provoke active decision-making, hold space for conflict and inspire collective leadership.
No previous game design background, technical knowledge, or performance creation experience is required to fully participate. All are welcome!
This workshop takes place within the installation space of Conflictorium. Learn more about the Conflictorium exhibition.
