Who Do You Think You Are?
In this mad uncertain world, what value systems & measures of success do we operate to that are in need of a system update & how can social game play & experiences help us to reframe who we are so we can live happier lives.

Speaker

Harmeet Chagger-Khan
If you had just one story to tell in this grand theatre of life, what would it be & how would you shape it? Harmeet is fascinated by how stories, games and experiences can unlock the Renaissance qualities within all of us.Studio Resident, Harmeet Chagger-Khan, a Film maker and Creative Producer will introduce her new project, Elixir of Life - an augmented reality story-game played on the city's streets, where players go on a quest for immortality and inadvertently unlock their own potential. This is part of a larger body of research exploring how locative storytelling and game play, can create positive behaviour change in order to adapt our rules for living and build mental resilience.
This Lunchtime Talk is part of Open Studio Friday, which takes place at the Studio every week.
