Artists’ workshop design strategy used for facilitated co-creation | –Instructions and playful tasks as Rancièrian pedagogical tools, facilitating democratic knowledge exchange and production - Games as social structures generating temporary communities - Playfulness and silliness allowing for norm-shedding and intimate connections between strangers – Foregrounding positionality and context-specificity – Co-designed and co-facilitated by Persis-Jadé Maravala and Hayley Dawn Hill, ZU-UK | – It was important to bridge to the participating Somali women’s community, so selected a female-identifying team including Yusra Warsama, a freelance maker from Coney’s Guild, herself with Somali family heritage - The workshop was a hybrid of typically Coney pieces of resonant gameplay plus reflection, with Yusra’s own creative writing practice – Co-facilitated by Eliza Cass & Yusra Warsama, co-designed with Tassos Stevens, Coney | – To enable the online workshop to be as accessible, interactive and inclusive as possible, physical flyers were created to advertise it, and an illustrated paper-based workshop pack was developed for participants to fill in the exercises live, directly responding to the hosted session. This was posted in advance to participants – Co-designed and co-facilitated by Ellie Shipman & Zoe Banks Gross | – We presented a contest between teams, curated to mix researchers and public, with a light fiction contextualising the research themes – The contest comprised resonant pieces of gameplay plus reflection, early rounds bonding teams and priming themes, culminating in co-design of research framed as the final challenge – Co-designed and co-facilitated by Rhianna Ilube & Tassos Stevens, Coney |
