varia (Gouwstraat 3, Rotterdam) is a space for developing collective approaches to everyday technology. As varia members, we maintain and facilitate a collective infrastructure from which we generate questions, opinions, modifications, help and action. We work with free software, organise events and collaborate in different constellations. varia figures things out as they go, tries to keep notes, is multilingual, has open hours and can be contacted at info[@]varia.zone.
During this Game & Watch we will collectively play two contrasting videogames to consider how Indigenous narratives are shared and considered in gamified realms. We will examine the representation of Indigenous peoples as well as the roles they are cast in the videogames 'Never Alone' and 'Sid Meier's Colonization'.
