Reworlding: Meanjin Workshop with Troy Innocent

This winter you're invited to join artist and academic Troy Innocent for an immersive role-playing game on the streets of Brisbane CBD as part of the International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA).

Starting from King George Square foyer, step out into the inner-city and imagine a Meanjin of the future with the help of your playmates. Along the way, take part in urban role-play encompassing augmented reality, participatory games and sound. Then, return to the Museum for a collective world-building workshop with the artist.

Perfect for families and groups of creative playmakers, you're invited to assemble your team and re-imagine a Brisbane of tomorrow.

This three-hour workshop includes:

1. Artist-led guided walking tour of Brisbane City.

2. Hands-on augmented reality experience where you will build a map of Meanjin in 2050 using resources collected on your tour.

Reworlding: Meanjin was developed in conversation with Warunghu, Aunty Raelene Baker and the Museum of Brisbane team. The project expands on a previous iteration, Reworlding: Play The World We Want, presented in Naarm/Melbourne by RMIT future play lab during Melbourne Design Week 2023. The game was designed using research provided by Aboriginal Elders, urbanists, designers, artists, policymakers and game makers.

This residency is part of the 29th International Symposium of Electronic Art (ISEA2024).

MoB's Artist in Residence program is supported by Tim Fairfax AC.
