NEoN is delighted to be working with Dundee based artist and curator Saoirse Anis to bring you the first workshop in our Change:Debate series addressing the work that must be done by us, together with Dundee’s many creative institutions to champion, support and nourish the work of artists of colour.
This workshop will be led and delivered by PoC artists, makers and activists who work in the digital sector to discuss their practice, share their experience of the industry and lead a dialogue about the vital challenges it must overcome.
Delivered and guided by Jazmin Morris, Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley, and Shay Thompson, the day will take the form of hands on activities, stories, discussion and drawing up suggested routes for future development. The space will be safe but challenging and a place for listening but for being heard, a place for growth and change.
Programme for the day
Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley 10:00am-12:00pm
Shay Thompson 12.30pm-1.30pm – Talk – We’re talking about Diversity all wrong
Jazmin Morris 2:00pm-5:00pm – workshop – Redesigning representation in games
Some laptops will be available but please do bring one along if you can.
About the Artists
Saoirse Anis is a Dundee-based artist and curator. She takes delight in exploring the relationships between materials, memories, and the essential movement which runs through everything. Interested in the value of empathy, she has recently been thinking about personal therapeutic processes, and how this relates to the ways we share our vulnerabilities with others. She is interested in the potential that lies in creative collaboration, and the extent to which it can nurture and inspire us, both personally and politically.
Jazmin Morris is a Creative Technologist. Her personal practice focuses on the complexities within simulating culture and identity through virtual games and experiences. Technology is used as a creative toolset to respond to predetermined ideologies and cultural and political theory. Jazmin works across institutions around London focusing on alternative STE(A)M education for diverse groups of people. The workshop, Redesigning representation in games, will provide an insight into Jazmin’s conceptual practice as well as guide participants through basic game development concepts.
Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley is an artist working predominantly in animation, sound and performance to communicate their experience as a Black Trans person. Their practice focuses on recording the lives of Black Trans people, intertwining lived experience with fiction to imaginatively retell Trans stories. Spurred on by a desire to meet buried bodies like theirs, their work dreams of a Trans archive where Black Trans people could share their buried experiences.
Throughout history, Black queer and Trans people have been erased from the archives. Because of this it is necessary not only to archive our existence, but also the many creative narratives we have used and continue to use to share our experiences.
Shay Thompson is a video games presenter, currently working for McLaren, hosting panels and podcasts for Bafta and previously streaming for Xbox UK. Interests include romancing alien squadmates, spending too much time in the character creator and trying to pet all the cats. Shay is also the founder of Level Up Link Up, an event aiming to make the games industry a more diverse place.

People react to the comments of Dr. Jack Myers, second from right, the professor of pediatric and congenital heart surgery with Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, who was teaching campers about the heart using a pig as an example, on Thursday, August 2, 2018. The learning session was taking place at Camp Lionheart, the annual summer camp for children with heart disease held at Camp Kirchenwald, located near Colebrook, PA.
I was chopping down some elephant grass in the front yard, and after my Craftsman handsaw had difficulty cutting it, I tried using my Fiskars (AKA Gerber) Brush Hook machete, and a chop deflected it up off the hard grass, and into my hand before I could react. I had a lanyard on the sharp knife to act as a mechanical advantage as a longer lever for greater force; with a half grip on the very end of the handle with the 550 cord lanyard around the wrist aiding in the retention of the chopper.
The bad news is, this also caused me to be unable to release the knife as it deflected, and the momentum continued it into my hand, before I could react it had hit me.
I was unable to stop, much like when you think you can brace yourself for a car impact, but later when it happens you find out that you can't.
I felt the impact, which was a numbing in my hand. I was afraid to look at first, and I hoped I had been hit below the blade at the top of the handle, because it was numb and didn't hurt very bad.
I looked and saw that I'd been cut, realizing the straite edge at the bottom of the blade did it. If it had been closer to the end when it impacted, it would have been a force multiplier for greater damage. Worse still at the very end, where the hook is. It has a curved edge, and causes a shearing affect as it cuts, because the curve causes all the energy to be focused on a smaller area which moves as the curve forces it to as it chops, much like a kurkri.
I tried to hold my hand steady to minimize bleeding.

I tried to hold my hand steady to minimize bleeding, and hurried to the house, leaving a dripping blood trail on the way.
Dad drove me to the hospital, and I ended up getting 9 stitches. The numbing solution they injected me with felt like boiling water.
On Saturday, Conor had a shoot for React What! clothing. I tagged along to help him out with lighting and different positioning of the models and took some random shots of my own. Check out his set at - www.flickr.com/photos/conorkeller/sets/72157619415045864/

To whom it may concern,
This is my response to a message Elvina from Caverna Obscura sent me after I requested to be informed of the exact reasons why she banned me from her parcel. I’m posting this to flickr, because...well read and see:
Hello,
First of all thank you for finally sending me your message to my IM and sorry it took me so long to answer, but i wanted to do this properly..
The message i sent you on the blog regarding the Poison Ivy Avatars, contained links and information to parts you used for those avatars that were released way before your Avatars and to which your items looked too similar, which is why i asked you if you got permission from the creator to use their things or if you accidentally copied them. I simply thought what i also wrote in that message, namely that I heard how hypersensitive you are about content-theft regarding your own work, so I thought i could be sure you’d never do something so despicable on purpose.
You can’t call that “nasty” unless you DID do it on purpose.
And i did not inform “creators suggesting you might have stolen some of their sculpts / textures” I only informed one creator, a friend, because those certain clawsculpts look too similar to simply be a similar idea from a different mind (especially since you even adopted the style of the textures that were used on the original), but it is interesting to know that there are more people who informed other creators about sculpts AND textures suspecting content-theft from your side. And it is perfectly normal and valid to contact other creators if one suspects their work to be stolen/copy botted/ being sold fullperm on the marketplace, where other creators(maybe you for example) accidentally buy/bought them and now use them as their own etc.etc. I’d do the same for anyone else under the same circumstances to help get rid of content-theft.
Ofcourse I’m aware of the fact that “someone cannot stay really anonymous anywhere on the internet ” unless one tries really really hard(which i didn’t). So i knew if you really wanted to find out, who posted it you’d anyway. I simply preferred to leave it at that for the time being (and I really don’t fancy you having my email address, which was the right decision judging by your reaction).You may think that was "coward"ly , but I hope i could correct that impression by contacting you in the open now.
I IMed you because i wanted to know exactly why you banned me. It could have been for any reason from too many scripts to a mistake, since you did not give me any explanation for the ban. If you read back you will notice, that i never asked you to revoke the ban.
I did not do anything that would deserve to be referred to as “sneaky criminal” or "dishonesty". I did not leave a troll post on your blog nor did I defy you or openly bash you based on some obviously false accusations (unlike what you did to another creator in your shopgroup by the way) and on top of that; nobodyelse apart from you was able to read the comment anyway, because you (which I knew beforehand) moderate your blog and control which comments you don't permit to show on the blog, so don’t even try to drama me into shame about such a trivial matter.
Same about “avoiding your creations like the plague” if i understand this overexaggerated cryptic remark right, you mean to say : I did not make pictures with them and posted them to my flickr account for everyone to see, because i did wear your creations on more than one occasion in SL and in the past I even recommended them.
And even if i didn’t write the post (which I did ofcourse, but in this special case that doesn’t matter) I still would not share your opinion that I “should be rather upset with those who did do it, and not with you for thinking it was me”like you suggest, but be rather upset with you for the accusation, the insults and the attitude you show in your message.
Everyone deserves the courtesy to be warned of a ban from a shop. Either you have to state in your store policy that you ban without warning, or you HAVE to give warnings. Just because you 'think' that the people you are dealing with deserve it and even if they did, that doesn’t mean you are automatically set free of showing proper manners. And that you “ acted upon your belief thinking not much harm can be done by banning me.” That ”It's not like I’m your good customer or something.” That you "didn’t think I’d even notice the ban" , is that your justification and what you think about your customers? Which can just be rephrased to: 'You don’t give me much money anyway, why should I care?' Nice attitude.
I really really like some of the creations you offer in your shop (I don’t say “your creations” on purpose).when I saw that you are using those claws, which have obviously and without any doubt the unique shape of those my friend made , I immediatly regretted that I could not buy and use this Avatar’s parts to create my own new Avatarlook with them anymore.
And of course it means i can not use any of the things you offer in your shop anymore(which i do regret in fact), because no matter if you botted her sculpts or 'just' stole the design and remodeled it 1:1 or accidently purchased fullperm sculpts on the marketplace you DID not take the avatars down NOR did you give an open statement regarding the accusation. All you did, was banning and insulting me for accusing you, which is just the same way in which someone who is guilty ("sneaky criminal" right back at you btw) would act, hence there is no way to know what else of the things you use to make your avatars is not really your own work or rather what of it really IS your own work, especially since you claim that 90% of all of what you sell is your original work(I read the FAQ on your blog before i messaged you) and on top of that, if the high prices you are charging for them are anything to go by, you are earning quite a sum with them.
thank you again for your answer it clarified everything quite a bit feel free to post the message you sent me underneath my answer, so people know what you accuse me of and can read your version of the story. But don’t try to change any of the content, because I have a log of it anyway)
My last words to this matter: if you had done the right thing, meaning react to the silent comment i left on your blog in an open way to shed light on the accusation and inform your customers, you would not have created this picture I have of you now: A person of unstable character and high and mighty attitude who herself jumps at every opportunity to defy and try to squash competition with cheap underhanded methods, while at the same time trying to remove all threads by banning, bashing and lashing out drama to hide her own “criminal” acts.
PS.: don’t try to play the “I was so sad I was about to leave SL”-pitycard again, that one is old, you used it a few times already and that doesn’t make it more believable.
To everyone who reads this: I’m sorry for the text wall, but that needed to be said, have a nice day, sincerely and with best regards

Last week we gave two teams of Theatremakers from the Open Exchange Network the opportunity to create a piece of work at the Exchange. It’s a chance for them to explore and develop the way they make work. Using the illustrated children’s book THE RED TREE by Shaun Tan as inspiration, the focus of this REACT is to create an age specific piece for children aged 10 and under. #RXREACT
