Code Breakers: Women in Games

Overview

The work of Australia and New Zealand's top female game designers will be in the spotlight at a brand new exhibition at ACMI. On display from July 25 until November 5, Code Breakers: Women in Games is a free exhibition that will gives visitors the chance to experience a wide variety of games made by female directors, writers, programmers, developers, designers and digital artists.

"Despite women making up almost 50 percent of game players, they account for less than 10 percent of the games industry," says ACMI CEO Katrina Sedgwick. "Code Breakers seeks to shatter stereotypes and celebrate the women who are breaking down barriers and building vibrant, creative careers within a global industry."

Games featured in Code Breakers include Ninja Pizza Girl, Armello and Need for Speed: No Limits. The exhibition will also feature gamemakers speaking frankly about the experiences in a male-dominated industry via a custom-built audio tour.
