CARDS ON THE TABLE (COTT)
THURSDAY 21ST APRIL, 4.30PM – 6PM
!! This event has been postponed !!
In this event, Sophie and Henry will showcase Cards on The Table (COTT), a game designed to support collective critical reflection during participatory and collaborative art projects. Since last year the nation-wide SAN Network has collaborated with the COTT team to widen the reach of the game, acting as a network of pack holders. This is with an aim to gather feedback on how people use the game, and to see how COTT can be taken further to assist in honest, critical arts evaluation, forming an arts ecology open to sharing doubts, fears and hopes in a more open way.
*This is an in person event with limited sign up available.
* There is a lift available at the venue. If you have any accessibility needs please contact us at: socialartnetworkldn@gmail.com
