PRIDE AT PLAY lets you explore the world of queer indie games. The exhibition and associated webpage allows you to engage with queer interactive games while also contributing to advance research on how computer games can enable queer experience. Xavier Ho is the co-curator, an award-winning interactive designer, who conceived of the exhibition now on at the Sydney College of Arts Project Space and is our queer gamer guide. Dylan Mooney’s light artwork, Still here and thriving, focuses on love in queer society. The large-scale portraits explore identity, desire and representation from his experiences as a proud, queer indigenous man. The work is part of Queer in Warrane, at the Hyde Park Barracks, presented by the Museums of History NSW, in celebration of Sydney WorldPride. We hear from Mel Flyte, Collections Discovery Assistant.

Arts Friday acknowledge the custodians of the Gadigal lands from which the program has been produced and broadcasts from at Eastside Radio.

Produced and presented by Angela Stretch
