MAKE IDENTITY THROUGH PLAY

Description

By positioning your identity through playing, this workshop will empower its participants to deeply understand their own cultural identity by creating empathy and an explicit positionality towards different community concerns, like climate change, gender and decolonisation. This workshop is divided into two parts. The first part uses a reflective tool called the ‘Social Identity Map’ developed by Danielle Jacobson and Nida Mustafa. This tool guides the participants to recognise their ‘social location’ through different tiers of identity. This will help participants to understand their positionality in the society we live in. The second part uses a typical Mexican board game called ‘Loteria’, which works similarly to bingo. Each card represents an archetype where participants explore how identity changes when we see ourselves through the lens of the different tiers explored in the first half of the workshop. Topics around climate change, gender and decolonisation will be discussed; This project might explore sensitive topics such as race, class and gender, therefore recording will not be permitted.
