Classism and games

In this workshop, Verena Brakonier and Benjamin Heinemann will address the topic of classism and games, based on Verena's game-based work Gläserne Decke #unten. Together the participants will explore how games can represent social inequalities. After an introduction and a short game session in which unequal starting conditions and opportunities are visualized, ideas for critical game design will be collected. The concepts will then be implemented directly on the console using Super Mario Maker 2.
