Studio Possible Bundle

A set of overlapping games, resources, and workshops, related mostly to climate futures. 

If you'd like to know more about anything, get in touch.

Imagine Alternatives, Kampala Yénkya, and Nairobi Mpya: https://imagine-alternatives.com/. These are storytelling games for learning about climate change, and imagining possible futures ... perhaps including original futures beyond what dominant discourses teach. They were created out of international collaborations, led by the African partners. 

Values in Research: https://imagine-alternatives.com/2023/10/12/hacking-the-game/. This uses similar mechanics to Imagine Alternatives, but has a very different purpose: to reflect on values in research, especially the ethics and social embeddedness of scientific research. 

Applied African Speculative Fiction: https://appliedafricansf.com/ Speculative fiction by African authors, alongside essays, activities, interviews, and provocations about how speculative fiction can be used in 'applied' contexts, such as education, policymaking, futures, innovation, risk management, and activism and organising.

Climate Acuity: https://climateacuity.org/ The organisation through which I and my collaborators offer facilitated, play-based workshops.

The Serious Games Cookbook: https://publishing.warwick.ac.uk/index.php/uwp/catalog/book/31 A resource on creating your own serious games.

Digital Humanities Climate Coalition: https://sas-dhrh.github.io/dhcc-toolkit/toolkit/teaching.html Resources for making your use of digital technologies more sustainable, including reflecting critically on AI. Includes the Digital Sustainability Game.
