Playful Rules

Playful Rules is an artistic walk in Park de Forest where a group of local children invited the audience to explore new ways of socialisation in the park by opening up for the playful socialisation rules defined by the children themselves. The children presented their new socialisation rules through performance and re-enactment exercises. This project was realised through a participatory process and in the wider context of the TRADERS research project: Training Art and Design Researchers in Participation for Public Space.

This project was part of the TRADERS research project, and exhibited at The Incroyable Téléphérique at Park de Forest, Brussels (BE) in 2014.
