saturday 4:30 pm - GENRDER RIDER GAME
game for 2-8 people.
Despite the fact that women have the right to vote and men can work in a kindergarten or take paternity leave, gender inequality and stereotyping persists in society. The majority of people don't even notice this, which is why we have the game Gender Rider, which attempts to point them out in an amusing way.
We will be guided by Kitt (the car from Knight Rider) throughout the game. Exhibitions will take place in his garage, we'll discuss players' opinions at the service centre, and educational seminars will take place at the petrol stations.
Before the actual game, there will be a short introduction on the topic of gender and afterwards, there will be games and discussions reflecting on the ideas raised.
sunday 3:00 pm - ZINE WORKSHOP
finishing day to put all pages together. later on sunday evening we will print ca 30 copies to give out to people who contributed
