MARINA ROSSI
THE IMPACT OF CURATION
The practice of organising an event transcends the pragmatic aspect of coordinating a team: you are building a new space, and every decision you make should mirror your values. This talk will cover the five-year experience in curating Game Happens, an international festival which proudly presents itself with a manifest and a code of conduct; we need to take full responsibility about the meaning of the artefacts we produce and highlight as creators and curators. In a world fascinated with clicks, likes, and views, we need to focus on the impact of our work.
Marina Rossi is a curator, designer, content creator and producer. She is co-founder and event director at Game Happens, a nonprofit cultural association based in Genoa, Italy focusing on the cultural, social, and artistic impact of games. She is also co-founder at Contralto game collective. With a Master Degree in ITC, she has been part of the game industry since 2009.
