Jabberwocky: The Internet and Creative Freedom

… care, community and self-exploration with games and online spaces.

Hang out and game-play this Saturday at The Burr of Berwick.

The Film Library at 22 Bridge Street includes an interactive exhibition of games and opportunities to follow online rabbit-holes, alongside Saturday workshops that will help you reclaim the internet as a creative space for self-expression and exploration. Bridge the gap between IRL and URL – come along and bring your online creations to life!

All ages welcome, but under-16’s must be accompanied by an adult.
