New Name, New Game 2
Theater Maker, Performer and Researcher Gaurav Singh Nijjer (@gauravnijjer) used the Kinaesthetic Time Capsules method to develop an unfolding zine-based game that invites players to draw, edit, change, adopt, negotiate, accept and co-create a new name—a persona that they ultimately must embody. By playfully reimagining their identities, the game invites reflection on the meaning and value that names carry in the hopes of generating empathy.
