SUMMARY:Towards Anti-Racist Game Development in Europe
DESCRIPTION:About the workshop series\nMany game studios in Europe and around the world are increasingly invested in diversity and inclusion as part of their mission to create a positive working environment. \nHowever\, when it comes to anti-racism\, the active confrontation of racist structures and biases\, terms like “diversity” and “inclusion” are often not enough to tackle these problems. Even progressive game developers might struggle to: \n\n understand what racial bias is and how it may affect their work\nconstructively confront racism in their day-to-day creative practice\n\nTowards Anti-Racist Game Development in Europe is a free online workshop series which supports Europe-based professionals in the games industry to get started on their anti-racist journeys. These workshops will run on 28 March\, 28 April\, 19 May\, and 9 June\, 2022. All workshops are facilitated by members of the Anti-Racist Forum Finland and are free. The workshops will use safer space guidelines and are: \n\nParticipant led\nInteractive and activity-based\nProviding room for critical reflection\nFocused on concrete applications for game professionals\n\n\nWorkshop goals\n1. Raising anti-racist awareness \nThe workshop series provides personalised input to increase game developers’ awareness around racism\, racial bias and structural whiteness in the industry and beyond. The focus is specifically on a European context and caters to professionals who are just getting started on the subject. \n2. Providing tools for critical action \nThe workshop series is designed to provide game developers with custom-tailored tools and resources for a more critical work practice in the games industry. Throughout the series\, participants develop tools to be applied in their day-to-day studio setting. \nConditions for participation\nThe workshops are free of charge. All game developers in Europe are eligible to attend. Please note that: \n\nBy signing up\, you commit to attending all four workshops\n\n\nWorkshop 1: Approaching Racism in Play\nWorkshop 2: Race and Representation in Games\nWorkshop 3: Race and Power in Game Design\nWorkshop 4: Anti-Racist Strategies in Game Development\n\n\nWorkshop spots are limited and assigned on a first come\, first served basis\nWorkshops take place online and are held in English\n\nVisit the White-Play website for more details on how to register.

SUMMARY:SketchClub Online
DESCRIPTION:The IGDA Game Art SIG warmly invites you to SketchClub Online—a FREE (roughly) bi-weekly event kindly sponsored by SAE Institute Zurich and hosted by author and designer Chris Solarski with the purpose of exploring traditional and contemporary approaches to figure sketching and character design. Attendees are encouraged to participate in artistic challenges prescribed for each each session\, for which Chris is on hand to offer advice and support. Although the SketchClub can also be used as an informal online meet-up where participants are free to work on personal projects while discussing all character\, art-design and career-related topics. All skill levels are welcome\, from complete beginners to advanced\, and there are no restrictions on which media is used (i.e. pencil/paper\, Photoshop\, Procreate\, etc.). SketchClub has a “drop-in” format\, so participants needn’t attend every session and can arrive late/leave early—ideally with minimum disturbance to the group. \nThe SketchClub occurs roughly every second Friday\, and these are the confirmed dates so far (5:30 – 8:30 pm Central European Time). A Zoom link is published in the ‘upcoming_events’ channel of the IGDA Game Art SIG’s Discord server on the day of each event. We look forward to seeing you!
