Join us for an enlightening interview with Sherria Ayuandini, the designer behind the game 'Kartini - From Darkness to Light'. Sherria embarked on her game design journey with the Zenobia awards - an event aimed at promoting diversity in the board gaming industry - brings with her game a rich, historically-infused narrative to the table.
'Kartini - From Darkness to Light' is a game where players manage schools for girls in Indonesia during the late 1800s to the early 1900s. As these girls graduate, they become vital figures in their society, advancing women's education and supporting Indonesia's struggle for freedom from Dutch colonialism.

In this interview, we'll explore the creative process behind the game, the historical context it reflects, and the influence of Kartini, a Javanese aristocrat whose letters advocating for women's education became the cornerstone of the Indonesian women's emancipation movement.
Sherria's work illuminates an important era in Indonesian history and the transformative role of education in societal change. So, join us as we delve into the game's strategic mechanics, its historical inspirations, and the journey of its designer. Be ready to step into a time of awakening, struggle, and enlightenment!
