Key note: Designing for change

on Tuesday, October 16, 2018


Johanna Koljonen is the second keynote speaker for State of the Larp. She will talk about how larp's potential to make a change is limited by its reach: you can affect people profoundly, but not in massive numbers at the same time. Johanna will discuss design consequences of this fact, as well as media and political strategies to counteract it.

Johanna Koljonen (CEO, Participation Design Agency) is a larp theorist, experience designer and broadcaster. She advises companies, arts institutions and the past two Swedish governments on topics related to culture, education and the participatory shift, and speaks internationally on the near future of the screen industries and on larp design. In 2011 she won the Swedish Grand Journalism award in the Innovator category for the multi platform social impact campaign #prataomdet.
