This talk reframes "decolonizing play" as a matter of design and systems change rather than representation alone. Drawing on more than fifteen years building game ecosystems in Africa and on his PhD research, Eyram Tawia examines how power, funding, authorship, and geography shape serious games and gamification, and offers a framework for impact that is inclusive, sustainable, and locally owned.
Speaker:
Eyram Tawia, CEO and Co-Founder, Leti Arts
Recorded at the 2026 Games for Change Festival, "Reimagining Play," July 21
to 22 at The Glasshouse in New York City.
