	My project is an interactive digital narrative about queer histories in the Balkans, something close to but not quite a game. It counters a popular notion in the Balkans that local queer people and communities are an export of the "rotten West". This is unimaginative at best, and violent and detrimental at worst (also blatantly false and just dumb). Through this project, I will be exploring what the political imaginary of queerness in the Balkans could be. <br>		My project is an interactive digital narrative about queer histories in the Balkans, something close to but not quite a game.

One such project that I’m building from is the SI23 project sick host.

	I've been obsessed with alternative ways of archiving and knowledge production for quite a few years now. From previous projects I would like to highlight Momentary Lapse in Memory, from which I’m building on using 3D for worldbuilding and learning how to handle memory and trauma within archives. This project focused on how archives weaponize personal memories to create grand narratives and build national identities. Which contributed to this project further diving into how the entire existences of queer people is weaponized and what alternatives there are. <br>		I've been obsessed with alternative ways of archiving and knowledge production for quite a few years now.
