Sarah Lynne Bowman (Uppsala University) represented Larpocracy at the 2nd Unconference on Games with History and Heritage in Gdańsk, showcasing our research on the use of larp to engage critically with political processes—a very insightful exchange.
#Larpocracy #GamesAndHeritage #LarpResearch
As Larpocracy progresses, we are examining and creating larps in all genres.
Political LARPs simulate diplomacy, governance, and protest.
They help us ask:
✔️ How do power structures work?
✔️ What does leadership feel like?
✔️ What’s the price of compromise?
What larp blew your mind? #larpocracy
