Derived from the Civil Society Dialogues, the series On Defiance – Art as Social Commentary brings together artists and scholars to discusses how art influences society, politics, norms and values. The fourth edition this year will explore the topic of gaming, gamification and the potential found in this sector of the creative industries. Connected to the framework programme of the Games and Politics exhibition, the discussion will include the presentation of a game within the exhibition as well as the game Unplugged 2121 designed by the Enter Africa group.

The subsequent discussion with local experts will explore how games and gaming can and are used with regards to transmitting political messages, information and action.
