Inhabiting the Library

The Library-Gamebox-Hub invited proposals for the use of its physical space and infrastructure to host projects, workshops, team meetings, reading groups, and other ideas that expand the possibilities of the space. Concepts were based on the practical use of the Library-Gamebox-Hub.

Possible formats include talks, podcast, workspace, photography studio, rehearsal space, and venue for listening sessions, book launch, script readings, meetings, etc.
