Artists and activists who identify as women, non-binary, trans, queer, Black, Indigenous, or People of Color only make up a fraction of contributors and content subjects in Wikipedia. Don't miss this panel of independent and avant-garde game designers, artists, and academics whose work specifically addresses the intersection of race, gender, and sexuality in digital art, design, and code.
Speakers include:
- Amanda Phillips (Georgetown University), author of Gamer Trouble: Feminist Confrontations in Digital Culture
- Emilia Yang (University of Michigan), co-producer of Downtown Browns
- Diamond E.B. Porter (Washington State University) game developer, artist, critical maker
- Moderator: Tony Bushner (University of Michigan)
- More speakers to be announced!
Following the panel, join us for a social Wikipedia editing session at the Digital Studies Institute, complete with editing mentors, food, swag, and a DJ.
