MAQUINITAS AT FANTASTIC PAVILION
May 16th - 24th

VIDEO GAMES IDENTITY AND RESISTANCE
Panel

Speakers: Blanca E. López & Jacinto Quesnel, Maquinitas Evangelists. 

This panel will focus on the discussion over the use of video games as means of resistance against global hegemonic productions. When you think of video games, the first thing that comes to mind are the great productions of the AAA industry. However, the indie industry has earned its place among gamers by offering productions with themes close to everyday life, culture and social problems that affect the countries where they are developed. The indie video game then becomes an anti-hegemonic production and a space for the construction and expression of identity, that is, a form of cultural resistance.

May 20 - 11:00 am
