Unsettling Settlers: Intervention Game by Artist November 4, 2022, 4-7 PM Concordia University 1515 Ste Catherine blvd. West At the Gail Stephen A. Jarislowski Institute for Canadian Art EV 3.711-3.725 Free and no registration required! Wheelchair accessible. If you are interested in exploring art and media that disrupt dominant narratives, please join the Ethnocultural Art Histories Research Group (EAHR) for a community building Game Night! We will be playing Golboo Amani’s Unsettling Settlers: Intervention Game which “aims to interrupt the colonial narrative of Settlers of Catan to employ strategies that strengthen players ability to imagine critical alternatives and practice counter hegemonic narratives of settlement on the landscape.”* Considering Amani’s art game as a “ready-made site of performativity,” Game Night offers a unique and collaborative opportunity for decolonizing through game research. Together, we will be looking at how this intervention method can confront or re-script colonial narratives and foster inclusive communities. We’ll also roll out upcoming EAHR activities you might be interested in helping out on. *http://golbooamani.com/Unsettling-Settlers-Intervention-Game
