Pitch Us a Talk

Every Friday we offer free, informal lunchtime talks from people sharing projects, process, ideas and provocations around pervasive media and creative technology. If you or someone you know should be a part of our programme, contact Martin O'Leary.

A game-based conversation alligned to the themes of 'Radiobook Rwanda': relationships, modern myths and resistance.

Studio residents Will Taylor and Lily Green have created two games to encourage group discourse on how people's ethnicity, gender, faith and society affects how they relate to these Radiobook Rwanda themes.

To attend, email will19taylor91@gmail.com by noon on Thu 4th Oct.
