DESCRIPTION:Virtual Event\n\nPlease register on Eventbrite.\n\nProf. mattie
  brice will present: on How Do We Already Change the World through Play?\n
 \nsince the turn of the 21st century\, games\, game design\, and gamificat
 ion gained wide attention as tools for social change work\, introducing ne
 w participatory aesthetic frameworks to the social design field. however d
 esign and technology are facing a decolonial reckoning that challenges how
  computational and social technologies are used to perpetuate and reinforc
 e power structures of western countries to the whole globe. once we shift 
 our focus to play and the marginalized folks engaging with it as a surviva
 l practice\, new alternative realities become possible for art and design 
 activism.\n\nmattie is an artist and designer working with contemporary so
 cial issues through play. She has been a culture worker within the games i
 ndustry for over a decade as a critic\, designer\, activist\, organizer\, 
 curator\, and educator. Her creative work manifests as medium-agonistic ga
 mes and play experiments\, from the memoir game Mainichi\, conceptual art 
 like EAT\, performance with empathy machine\, and speculative experiences 
 including The DAFRA Pairing Ceremony. mattie’s organizing work spans vario
 us scales\, having co-organized the Queerness & Games Conference\, IndieCa
 de\, and #LOSTLEVELS. She now teaches at the University of California: San
 ta Cruz' Performance\, Play\, & Design department and her current work foc
 uses on play as activism\, speculative methodologies\, design bleed\, and 
 social relationships of power.\n\nThis event is also part of the 7th Seaso
 n of Disrupting Disruptions: the Feminist and Accessible Publishing and Co
 mmunications Technologies Speaker and Workshop Series\, organized by Dr. A
 lex Ketchum. Our series was made possible thanks to our sponsors: SSHRC\, 
 Digital Citizen Research\, the Institute for Gender\, Sexuality\, and Femi
 nist Studies (IGSF)\, the DIGS Lab\, Milieux\, Initiative for Indigenous F
 utures\, ReQEF\, and more.\n\nThere is no fee required to attend this even
 t. It will be professionally live captioned.\n\nYou can watch other past e
