A little about us
We bring together marginalized people and allies across game studies, game making, art, and academia.
Roundtables, game clubs, workshops, and shared projects give us ways to learn from each other.
Rooted in Black feminist thought and Kimberlé Crenshaw’s work, we recognise how different forms of oppression overlap.
Mutual support, accessibility, and space to learn at your own pace.
Lived experience matters. You don’t need an academic title or an impressive portfolio.
