SNAKES & LADDERS DEMO: Yasmin Khan invites Subhadra Das to play a game of Snakes & Ladders with a twist. The classic board game is brought to life with a bespoke deck of playing cards.

With each dice roll, they discuss controversies that have inspired MOTL’s six pillars of truth-telling, a co-created diagnostic tool summarised as WISDOM:

1. Whose Voice, 2) Information Integrity, 3) Source, 4) Design, 5) Object story and 6) Museum context.

This episode can be used as an interactive audio guide to play the Snakes & Ladders game featured at the end of the Muse-Zine. Have fun!
