Imwen Eke is an Experience Designer, Social Games Practitioner, Artist and Researcher.
This Podcast emphasises new perspectives and new narratives in Play that include Black voices and new frames of reference alongside those that already exist.
In this episode, Imwen invites nine guests to open a dialogue and imagine what Play might look like 100 years into the future. We speculate, discuss and conceive possibilities.
Through a series of prompts, Imwen asks how they would want to frame this world. From personal imagining, to a broader societal context. Are we heading for utopia, dystopia or somewhere in-between.
