Build your own anti-capitalist multispecies alter ego in this workshop with MUCK.
We will create our own card deck representing an activist multispecies organisation. You will create your own game-style alter ego playing card that harnesses your personalised strengths and creative strategies. Taking a multiplayer cooperative approach, we will explore games as strategy in a fight for a better world. You can expect to think about activism, care, posthumanism, multispecism, anti-capitalism, games, healing and empowerment.
Participants are invited to create a playing card harnassing their personalised strengths and creative strategies in activist multispecies organisations.
This workshop aims to empower the participants by using their imagination to create a card game-style alter ego in the fight for a better world. In addition, the workshop will lighten the sometimes heavy aspects of activism and resistance by using games as a strategy. We will derive from a multiplayer cooperative game style and evoke a feeling of optimism and community as it is all of us together against the capitalist game.
Content warning: We will work from an anticapitalist, anticolonialist, intersectional post-humanist framework. By doing so, sensitive topics are embedded in the workshop from within. We are, however, not planning on explicitly mentioning any sensitive topics per se.
