„Play My Life!”
- Designer: Przemysław Sokół
Student project
„Play My Life!”
"Play My Life!" is a story of refugee children presented in the form of activity sheets with tasks to be completed independently. From the first page to the last, we follow the story of two children – Aisha and Dele. She is running away from war, while Dele seeks refuge from the impacts of climate change.
Each of them has different experiences and problems. The story begins in their home countries, then we follow their escape and stay in a refugee camp, followed by their move to a new country. At each stage, there are several tasks designed to reveal and familiarize us with the situation of refugee children. "Play My Life!” is a critical project that, in addition to its educational aspect, aims to draw attention to issues related to migration. The activity sheets look like a coloring book for kids, while creating a dissonance between the innocent and childlike form and the challenging and brutal content.
