The Number One Educational Resource for the Game Industry
-
Overview:
-
The Skins Workshops, hosted by Aboriginal Territories in Cyberspace (AbTeC), encourages Indigenous youth to continue traditions of storytelling in new, innovative ways. This session covers the history and findings from the Skins Workshops in relation to self-determination in creating and diversifying Indigenous media, including video games, experimental media and more. In teaching over 74 workshops to 1,178 participants and counting (with a majority Indigenous staff as facilitators), the Skins Workshops fosters learning environments to underrepresented groups in an ever-competitive, ever-growing industry. Speakers will present the Skins Workshop's framework in decolonizing game design at various stages of development, where weaving in cultural values throughout the process allows participants to challenge stereotypes and bring in new narratives into multi-media platforms.
