The Western colonial mindset still permeates games and gaming culture. The MIT Game Lab and MIT COLAB works to challenge these ideas and create alternative narratives. In this two-day workshop\, we will meet artists and academics doing creative work with cultural engagement\, look at and play examples of counter-colonial and decolonization games\, and engage creatively with these questions. The workshop consists of a mix of presentations\, discussion\, gameplay\, and creative exercises. Participants will get the chance to test and give feedback on a game prototype currently being developed at the MIT Game Lab. \nTuesday Schedule: \n\n\n\n2 pm\nPresentation: Rik Eberhardt & Mikael Jakobsson\n\n\n2:30 pm\nPlaytest: Promesa\n\n\n4 pm\nCoffee\n\n\n4:15 pm\nPresentation: Rosa Colón Guerra\n\n\n5 pm\n Creative Group Activity I\n\n\n6-8? pm\nPizza & Board Games for those who like\n\n\n\nWednesday Schedule: \n\n\n\n2 pm\nPresentation: Shey Rivera\n\n\n3 pm\nCreative Group Activity II\n\n\n4 pm\nCoffee\n\n\n4:15 pm\nPresentation: Jo Cosme\n\n\n5 pm\nGroup Play Session\n\n\n\n
