Different Games

<P><SPAN>For four years, the Brooklyn based Different Games conference has presented a diverse and interdisciplinary venue known for featuring emerging voices and perspectives not typically supported by the commercial industry. Created by the Different Games Collective, a grassroots organization aimed at fostering diversity and inclusivity in games, the event seeks to amplify the creative and critical voices of marginalized participants in games culture. Geared towards accessibility and radical inclusivity, each annual volunteer-led conference features presenters of all professional backgrounds, from indie devs, and DIY creators to students, critics and scholars. </SPAN><SPAN><BR CLASS="kix-line-break"><BR CLASS="kix-line-break"></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN>This year we’re joining forces with members of Toronto’s indie games scene to bring a brand new program to OCAD University’s </SPAN><SPAN>49 McCaul Street gallery, which will include </SPAN><SPAN>an arcade exhibition featuring the best of alternative games, VR, and performances from local and international developers, and a one day conference featuring local developers and creators</SPAN></P>
