Mobilizing Citizenship: Live Action Role Playing with Trojan Horse
Project
April – April 2019
Kunsthall Stavanger welcomes you to a lecture/performance with the Helsinki based collective Trojan Horse. The duo behind the initiative, architect Kaisa Karvinen and graphic designer Tommi Vasko, blend science fiction and performative methods with architecture, city planning and digital communication.
The Trojan Horse initiative organizes summer schools, live action role-plays and other events in order to explore the boundaries and preconditions that define the field in which architects and designers operate today. At Kunsthall Stavanger Kaisa and Tommi will speak about their ongoing research on roleplaying as a research method in the fields of design and architecture.
Trojan Horse is the third artist group participating in this year's Mobilizing Citizenship, an art and educational project aimed at young adults age 12-16.
