  • 1. Nov. 17, 2021: 11th Clash Of Realities (Part III)

    Summits: Immersive Gaming x Cultural Heritage & Media Education

  • 15:15  - 15:45
    In this conversation, we explore ways to develop anti-racist literacy in games education. How can we start talking about race and racism in relation to gaming? How can we identify, analyse and dismantle colonial legacies, including racism, in game culture? What does an anti-racist game culture look like? The talk aims to open a dialogue around these issues, meeting half-way between the speakers’ various perspectives and racial experiences as an Afro-Brazilian activist media scholar (Dr. Leonardo Custodio) and a white Austrian games scholar (Dr. Sabine Harrer).
