Join us for a talk and closing drinks for Melbourne Design Week

No Vacancy Gallery

Is my game too queer for the audience?” You might ask yourself five or ten years ago, and you might continue asking yourself that question as a queer game designer.In this talk, Xavier Ho will draw from 20 interviews with queer game designers featured at Pride at Play, a curated queer games exhibition with a focus on Oceania and the Asia-Pacific. The exhibit showcases queer games from all around the region along with conversational interviews that background each game. For this exhibit, Ho explored the participating artists backgrounds, motivations, goals, inspirations, communities—what it meant to them to ‘play with pride’—and who their audiences are. He will present an overview of what they found through these quiet conversations and provide insight into the state of queer games in Oceania and the Asia Pacific.This event will also be our closing drinks for Melbourne Design Week.This event is part of Melbourne Design Week 2023, an initiative of the Victorian Government in collaboration with the NGV.
