Of Group Hugs And Unresolved Rage w/ Risa Puno (Podcast)
The creator of ‘The Privilege of Escape’ talks about their latest work and exploring emotions through game mechanics
This week on the show artist Risa Puno joins us to talk about some of their latest work, including the upcoming Group Hug at the Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia and Unresolved Rage Game, developed with theatre artist Ran Xia which was recently at Worlds in Play at ASU’s MIX Center in Mesa, Arizona.
We go deep into the motivation behind both pieces and how Puno explores emotions through game mechanics.
Content Advisory: there’s some frank talk about the wave of hate directed at Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders that the pandemic unleashed and that includes some strong language including the identification of slurs that were directed at Puno themself. Telling you that upfront so that you’re not caught off guard.
