Join artist Jazmin Morris for an evening of radical worldbuilding. During this workshop you will be introduced to media and creative approaches to support you to embark upon your own worldbuilding quest using interactive fiction. Together, we will explore how worlding can be used as a tool to explore historical/social/political issues and imagine alternative realities. Participants will be guided to use ‘Twine’ (free software for interactive fiction) to create their own narratives and environments.
All equipment provided, including some tablets. However, if you do have your own laptop/tablet please bring it along as we may not have enough for one each.
