LET’S CAFÉ

#6 The World has gone to SHIT: Let's play? 

colleagues in conversation: Dr. Anthea Moys and Prof.Georges Pfruender

27.03.2025 - 5 pm CET

In this session, artist and practice researchers Dr. Anthea Moys and Prof.Georges Pfruender look forward to critically exploring the space between hope and despair through the sharing of unwinnable games. They will provide the framing, offer up a provocation, and engage the group in co-producing a soundscape of failure/'unwinnability'. We will then respond to, reflect upon, and work with what emerges from this space.

Anthea Moys (1980, she/her, SA & UK) is a multi-modal artist, educator, and practice researcher exploring the intersections of play, power, and decoloniality. With a cross-disciplinary practice spanning two decades, Moys' work blends arts, play-oriented studies, performance, co-production, and peer-to-peer learning. After 15 years as an artist, she completed a practice research PhD at Northumbria University, developing a reflexive decolonial methodology for play and performance studies. Moys is currently an IASH fellow at Edinburgh University, investigating unwinnable games for decolonial play. www.antheamoys.com
