Join us for Pervasive Media Studio's first online Lunchtime Talk, where Malcolm from Play:Disrupt will be discussing how we can promote playful, collaborative public engagement in a time when we can't (really) connect.
For the past six months, studio residents Mufti Games have been developing a new company - Play:Disrupt to help organisations break down barriers to participation, engage with their audiences in different ways, foster new perspectives through play and make things more democratic and overcome bias in public engagement, consultation and research projects.
"We want people to be actively engaged in the processes and actions that are happening around them. That might mean using play to help organisationally, artistically, socially. To help kickstart a process, to galvanise a conversation, to simply connect people. Whatever it is, we know play can help"
"So," asks Malcolm, "how can we deepen connection at distance? And 'when this is all over' how do we engage with strangers when dancing the ‘two meter tango’?"
Malcolm will be sharing some of the thinking and making they were doing before THE GREAT DISRUPTION and open up discussion about what we might do when the buildings, streets and parks finally do reopen.
