Miniature painting workshop for wargames organized together with the people of Acéfala. In it we learned about the history and sociology of wargaming, several modeling and painting techniques, as well as trying to expose some of the main problems that the hobby faces today: An excess of representative toxic masculinity, little diversity in the players, the use of iconography by the alt-right and we discuss how to try to deal with them.
It was a really fun and exciting afternoon and we all walked away with a freshly painted and battle ready model. Looking forward to repeat this experience!
