Guided by the belief that imagination is our most important form of technology, Sahjan's new exhibition (darkforest) The Zone of Ghosts invites us into a world created in collaboration with young people aged 12-19 from Liverpool and Leigh. Within the gallery, a dark forest grows, and imagined artefacts made by the young people sit within the walls of an infinity-symbol-shaped structure. On one side, a digital and tabletop game can be played, and on the other, a campfire creates space to reflect and imagine how different futures might be made.
This is a great chance for fellow learning teams, academics, artists, and educators working with storytelling, to talk to the artist about how they created worlds, stories, and games with young people.
Complimentary pastries and hot drinks will be provided.
