Different Perspectives Art Games Festival highlights what video games as a cultural medium can do and aims to inspire by presenting, meeting & creating games during a two week festival in Het Bos.
Discover & play autobiographical games
The central gathering point of the festival is Relive/Herleef: An exhibition of autobiographical video games.
Topics will range from mental health, war experiences, loss of loved ones... But also positive experiences such as the value of peace, family and LGBTQ+ love will be highlighted in Relive / Herleef.
Each work tells a different story, and different stories often need different ways of arousing empathy: different forms of experiencing, or in this case.... Relive.
