Known for their performance and video game-based art, artist Danielle Braithwaite-Shirley will be presenting a game-based performance in which audiences are able to take part. This event will be held in the South Tank in Tate Modern where you, the players, will explore various topics in a digital world created by the artist. Here is the invitation. The rest is up to you:
THERE HAS ONLY BEEN FIRE
THERE HAS ONLY BEEN POLARISATION
THERE HAS ONLY BEEN INTOLERANCE
WE CAN'T REMAIN LIKE THIS
WE ALL HOLD A ROLE IN THE WORLD WE ARE BUILDING
COME AND FIND OUT WHAT ROLE YOU'VE BEEN PLAYING
THIS IS AN INTERACTIVE PERFORMANCE
YOU WILL DETERMINE WHAT WE TALK ABOUT
AND WHERE WE GO
YOU MAY FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE
