DMG is a grassroots, community-driven not-for-profit videogame arts organization founded in 2012. We create space for communities that are often marginalized in tech and games spaces to make, play and critique videogames within a cultural context. We recently launched a new initiative, Damage Labs, to support the creation of new commercial game studios founded by marginalized artists in Canada.
We are seeking an outreach and social media coordinator for a short-term contract to support the launch of this new initiative.
