Studio: Art for Social Good, Wintersession 2018
Professor: Rene Payne
Assignment: Identify 7 pillars of poverty of Poor People's Campaign and with the foundations of Sankoga.org build a design solution around it.
I met up with Brandy from Mathewson Street United Methodist Church who stated that she didn't always wish to work all day to return back and just sleep in the shelters, rather once in a while she prefers to participate in a fun activity. Dave also talked about how support groups had helped him overcome his addiction. Realising the need for a community-based activity, I went on with making a board game that would strike conversations about social and technical skills.
I went with the name JIVE which is an amalgamation of join and thrive. The game is more of a collaborative effort than a competitive one, and it enables players to share important pieces of their lives with each other.
