At this talk, chaired by Susanna Davies-Crook, we explore feminist, queer and speculative strategies for envisioning how we might re-make our world through storytelling, gaming and film.
The panel discusses Steering the Craft – Ursula K. Le Guin’s carrier bag of the tools of a writer’s craft: how, and why, to write – and the surrealist dream worlds of Leonora Carrington and Chloe Aridjis.
Sammy Lee and Sarah Shin will present an overview of their mythical game world, Mirror: The Mountain. With non-linear storytelling inspired by the archetypes of tarot, the game delves into themes of memory, mythology, and the entanglement of mind and cosmos. Writer and Director Siri Rodnes will present in relation to their film Nine Lives based on the science fiction short story by Ursula K. Le Guin.
Presented by the Barbican's Creative Collaboration team in partnership with Silver Press, curated by Susanna Davies-Crook.
