Show moreChaz Evans is the curator of the Video Game Art Gallery (VGA Gallery), a traveling exhibit established in 2013 that displays pieces of art from video games. VGA Gallery’s co-directors, Jonathan Kinkley and Chaz Evans, have a deep passion for sharing these artifacts that provide audiences an invitation to enter into discourse surrounding video games through the presentation of art from or inspired by the game. Evans works closely with the designers of the video games featured in the exhibit to ensure that the art pieces they include reflect the designers’ vision of the game. In the time that they have been displaying their exhibit at different events in Chicago, such as Bit Bash, ACTIVATE, Multiples Art Fair, and INTERPLAY Chicago, Evans says that their gallery has been met with much admiration and curiosity from both gamers and non-gamers. Through the process of curating games, he argues that archives and exhibits not only tell a history of video games, but also contribute to the current and ongoing story of video games and provide instances for further discourse and analysis in understanding the video games media. He describes his future aspiration for VGA Gallery to include installations in interactive spaces that contain playable demos of the games alongside the artwork that together provide a threshold for people to experience and appreciate the game.

Show moreIn this interview, Sofanda relays her experience doing drag and developing her Bingo set, focusing on how she creates a welcoming community for Bingo players to join in on a Tuesday night. Highlighted here is how Bingo provides an accessible way for designers with little to no game design training are able to develop meaning play experiences. Furthermore, she elaborates on how Bingo extends her own performance of gender and sexuality to the players, inviting them to also perform and play with gender and sexuality. While Drag Bingo highlights an accessible method of structuring play, successful drag queen Bingo hosts must cultivate a liminal low- stakes space for participants to play with performances of gender and sexuality.
