Developed by Change Media, in collaboration with VCA and here studio, the work consists of a 52 card game for self evaluation of harm in art and culture, accompanied by a multi-media art installation (sculpture, image work, video, mass player game, panel presentation and hands-on workshop on art making, moral, value and power).
During the conference, The Department for Critical Illiteracy will launch its prototype ‘Typology of Harm in CACD’. After an introduction of the methodology, participants can play out different negative value scenarios and develop their own typology of harm, to map out their own experience of harm, by using a unique set of 52 N.I.C.E. cards [Negative Indicators Commonly Experienced].
Our typology introduce a range of tools and ‘archetypes’ based on identified negative values and behavior patterns we identified in collaboration with colleagues and community participants over years of 'successful' practise, to open up a dialogue on the issues of harm, risk, power and value. Our method aims to strengthen critical literacy across the sector to support stakeholders to engage on a deep level with problems of power, interdependency, morality, privilege and commodification across the sector.
