Game design and illustration for Curious Climate Schools

Written By BOHIE

I’ve just seen the first printed version of CLIMACTICO!!!! A card game designed by Curious Climate Schools, that I had the pleasure of hand illustrating and graphic designing!

The game was co-created with a passionate group of young people (under 12), who created a global cast of human and non-human “Characters” who are impacted by climate change in one way or another. The character cards feature a problem that needs to be solved, and four “Talents” that need to work together to solve them. The players each have a hand full of Talents and Wildcards that they can play, swap, etc with playful consequences!

It was great to see it in print at the Sustainable Education Teachers Fair in Hobart.

More pics to come.

BOHIE

Based in Braidwood, NSW, BOHIE creates art, illustration, public space murals, and creative workshopping experiences that explore wonder and connection to each other and to the natural world.

She works alongside educational institutions, government agencies, community focus groups and stewards of the natural world to design change-making campaigns for each creative project. Bohie utilises a research-based methodology to find inspiration for her artworks, resulting in 2D images which are laden with deeper stories and symbolic meaning.

This narrative driven conceptual development injects her unique authenticity and grass-roots integrity into the public arena, which she sees as a conscious challenge to public advertising. In a time of rapid change, extreme instability and a globally recognised feeling of imminent threat, Bohie’s art provides messages of hope and empowerment for a changed future.
