Playable City Producer Hilary O’Shaughnessy joins us to share her learnings on the recent Playable City Sprint in Lagos, Nigeria. 

Playable City Lagos supported, inspired and challenged participants to develop playful interventions using creative technology that responded to specific social challenges and geographic locations in Lagos. Ideas responded to local research undertaken by the Urban Design Institute Future Lagos. Over ten days in Lagos, four Uk and seven Nigerian participants created ideas and working prototypes that were demonstrated as part of a public sharing in Freedom Park. Through a programme of workshops, visits, talks and creative making activities, the Playable City Lagos programme encouraged participants to generate imaginative ideas, consider local and global contexts, research and develop prototypes and make valuable connections with each other and Lagos, that will last beyond the end of the programme.

This Lunchtime Talk is part of Open Studio Friday, which takes place at the Studio every week.

Do you want to find out what is going on at the Pervasive Media Studio? Are you interested in meeting our residents, talking about a specific project or curious about pervasive media? Why not pack a sandwich and join us for one of our Lunchtime Talks and Open Studio Friday.

Lunchtime Talks are informal presentations by Studio residents and associates. They normally take place at 1pm on Friday, are free and open to everybody who’s interested in what we do.

After the Talk, we also invite you to stay with us for the afternoon to continue the conversation or work on your own projects. We provide chairs, tables, wireless and a great space. You bring what you need to work with (laptop/mobile). Our open afternoons close at 5pm.

Let us know if you’d like a tour of the space and we'll be happy to show you around just before the talk. Send an email to admin@pmstudio.co.uk to book your place on a tour.
