Upcoming events at Glasgow Zine Library
Divergent Design Series: Disrupting Shame
In this workshop we will examine the ways that the compulsory executive functioning paradigm has twisted our very existence as neurodivergent people from “difference” into “disorder,” shamed us for our differences, and then blamed us for the dysfunction that shame has caused.
Divergent Design Series: Mise en Place: Getting Started is the Hardest Part
There are a million hacks out there that promise to offer the silver bullet for all our creative problems, and this workshop is … Not That. There really are no magic solutions to our struggles, but Mise en Place—a concept borrowed from the culinary world—is both a holistic practice and a quick strategy that can be helpful if we take it to heart and keep coming back to it.
Designing a Role-playing Game: narrative and mechanics
In our workshop, Laurie O'Connel will take participants through some of the basics of game design. We'll go through some popular games and analyse how they work, talk about making mechanics that fit your vision, and how to write a game that works in theory and in practice.
Divergent Design Series: Design Thinking
In this workshop we will explore the possibility that “design thinking” offers an alternative paradigm to the so-called “executive functioning” paradigm so often used to pathologize neurodivergent people.
Divergent Design Series: Living in Spiral Time
This workshop explores alternative metaphors for understanding time that are often extremely resonant, exciting, and even healing for Neurodivergent people.
