Yes! I finally have enough of these to warrant it’s own page! (also since most of the conferences were online these past 2 years, they’re available on YouTube!)
Also including events and workshops here as well.
Mini Melbourne at the Immigration Museum
Museums Victoria Culture Makers Season 1
‘Mini Melbourne’ workshops invite you to co-create a video game, and celebrate the cultural diversity of our city and the common threads that connect us all.
Your creation becomes a playable character in a virtual recreation of Melbourne, and this collaborative artwork will be available for all museum visitors to play following the 2-day program of workshops.
Coming soon to the Immigration Museum, June 2023
