Sunday 20 november
DORIS held a seminar at the ArtClub KvARTira but first the host Artjom Ryzhkov presented the artclub and its content. Then
we made a presentation of DorisFilm, told about our aims and activities during last years, and how gender equality has developed in Sweden since DORIS started up in 1999. Lisa Lindén presented the Doris Computer Game, how and why it was made.
After the seminar we had a light lunch and then we were divided into three groups to come up with ideas for cooperation. A lot of inspiring and interesting ideas were raised. Three children were invited to test the first chapter of the Doris computer game with Lisa and to tell about their thoughts about it. They were curious about to test the whole game when it was ready.
An exhibition called “Women And Men”, 15 cartoons by artist Igor Paschenko, were exhibited specially made for the seminar.
