Crafternoons x Imagined Worlds with Jazmin Morris

Join artist Jazmin Morris for an evening of radical worldbuilding. During this workshop you will be introduced to media and creative approaches to support you to embark upon your own worldbuilding quest using interactive fiction. Together, we will explore how worlding can be used as a tool to explore historical/social/political issues and imagine alternative realities. Participants will be guided to use ‘Twine’ (free software for interactive fiction) to create their own narratives and environments.

All equipment provided, including some tablets. However, if you do have your own laptop/tablet please bring it along as we may not have enough for one each.

Jazmin Morris is a Creative Computing Artist and Educator based in West Yorkshire.

Using free and open-source tools, Jazmin crafts participatory digital works that challenge power dynamics and hierarchies within cyberspace, with a particular emphasis on the processes of simulating culture and identity. Despite her critical approach, she appreciates the early days of the internet and is a huge fan of the classic gaming icon, Super Mario 64.
