À propos
Unsettling Settlers: Intervention - Live Board Game Play Event
An afternoon of live board game playing facilitated by artist Golboo Amani engages ardent gamers and novices alike in critically reflecting on colonialism in every aspect of our lives, including recreation, through her artwork Unsettling Settlers: Intervention.
Amani's socially-engaged artwork is a board game that interrupts the colonial narrative of the popular game Settlers of Catan by employing strategies that strengthen players' ability to imagine critical alternatives to and counter hegemonic narratives of settlement. Local artists trained by Amani in collaboration with Common Weal Community Arts will join the artist to host three tables in a re-invented experience of the popular board game that favours dialogue, negotiation and collaboration over conquest. Through gameplay, participants confront biases that games such as Settlers of Catan strengthen and gain an understanding of the real effects and stakes of protest strategies to create change.
Reserve your free spot at a hosted table of your choosing to learn and play Golboo Amani's Unsettling Settlers board game, presented in the Art Gallery of Regina's exhibition View from the Edge of the World.
All are welcome. Snacks provided.
