Biosphere Builders: Creative Games for Change
Biosphere Builders: Creative Games for Change
Need help?
The Lowdown:
Join us for unforgettable afternoon of creative collaboration with Biosphere Artist in Residence Ali Hodgson and the Keird Collective as we co-create an installation map of our vision for a nature-positive future on the Isle of Man that will be filmed and animated in real time!
Expect ice-breakers, creative challenges, new friends, drinks, snacks and DJs to entertain us while we play!
At Biosphere Builders, Ali and the Keird collective will be setting creative and collaborative challenges that will inspire your hands (and make you laugh!) no artistic skill necessary, just a willingness to show up and play. We will do the rest!
This event is suitable for anyone wishing to spend a creative autumn equinox afternoon connecting with others and celebrating our biosphere. Held at Kerroo Brewing Company, a happening new venue in Port Erin serving craft beers, ciders, wines and softs, we will be giving all ticket sale profits to Manx Wildlife Trust, the largest conservation charity in the Isle of Man.
Booking is essential - get your tickets while they’re hot!
Any questions about the event, please contact Ali at ali@alihodgson.co.uk
A Few More Things:
- All creative materials for the night will be provided, just bring your imagination!
- Feel free to come on your own or bring friends (but we guarantee you will know more people by the end of the event!)
- Ticket price does not include drinks but we will be serving a selection of snacks including vegan friendly options
- After 5pm the venue will open to the public. There will be a food truck, live music and merriment so do stay for the after-party if you wish!
- Please note this is an over 18’s only event
A Bit More Depth:
This experimental workshop will be the culminating event to celebrate the end of Ali Hodgson’s year-long artist residency with Manx Wildlife Trust and UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man, supported by the Isle of Man Arts Council, and an opportunity to meet the Keird Collective - an inclusive community initiative facilitating the social connection between creatives.
During her residency, Ali has created a biosphere-based game that has since been played with over 500 people on the Isle of Man. This event will be an extension to these game sessions, bringing together the vision of these 500 players to help express what they wish to see in a future where our Island’s human and ecological systems are supporting each other to thrive.
Through creative modelling we will collectively create a map of these visions that will be stop-frame animated in real-time to bring everything to life. This will all be interspersed with fantastical creative challenges plucked straight from the expert imaginations of the Keird Collective!
