The Book Ritual is an interactive art-piece played using a real-world book of your choice.

Write in your book to tell it about yourself. Deface its pages in creativity exercises, so that your book can understand you. Tear out pages to keep the conversation going, as it reveals to you how it came to be and why it wants to know you.

The Book Ritual is about dealing with loss and accepting grief. The process of tearing up a book allows players to live out the experience of loss and examine the emotions that arise.

Alistair Aitcheson will give a short talk and demonstration, and be available for Q&A.
