GAMER (Gay Asian Makers Experimental Residency) was born from a need to embrace collective and process-based practice. What might artists across disciplines learn from each other? What might artists within a community learn from each other? The result was a micro-residency across disciplines. Curated by Nathan Joe, the first iteration of it ran for just under a week at Te Wā, Ōtautahi Christchurch.
In the second iteration, GAMER: Night School, select participants of GAMER returned and ran a series of talks and workshops where the public was invited. This was done in partnership with Parallax, a curatorial program at Artspace devoted to reiterating forms of gathering.
