NEXT WAVE FESTIVAL // Next Wave // 2006
| Next Wave is a biennially curated youth arts festival. We were entrusted with communicating the festival's theme 'Empire Games', a provocative reference to the original name of the Commonwealth Games and a title conjuring up paradoxical notions of 'politics and play'. | Using styrofoam, balsa wood and modelling clay we physically built a series of retro-futuristic island dioramas. These islands were intended as literal representations of colonisation and settlement, while drawing parallels to youth culture today and eighties platform games. |
