In-Person
Gaming is sometimes seen as a waste of time. But what if video games can encourage introspection, help us learn more about ourselves, and give us ways to tell our own stories?
Join us for a tour of our current exhibition, Level Up: Pixels, Play, & Progress as we discuss video games that are meant to bolster our courage, encourage us to follow our dreams, and help us express our thoughts and ideas.
We’ll kick off the tour with an overview of the exhibition as a whole, then dive a bit deeper into selected video games that encourage introspection and give us new ways to think about ourselves and our place in the world.

We think, remember, and convey our experiences through storytelling. The narratives we weave possess immense power—they inspire change, challenge norms, and shape our collective consciousness.
From oral storytelling to the written word, theater to film, and television to virtual reality, our capacity to tell and share stories has evolved hand-in-hand with technology. Video games mark a significant shift in this intertwined history. Game designers create realities that empower players to shape stories as they explore fantastical realms, experience different viewpoints, and embark on extraordinary adventures.
The immersive nature of video games blurs the lines between the physical and digital. Contemporary games tap into human emotions and fill needs. They bring people together by transcending boundaries, building communities, and creating opportunities for collaboration across diverse backgrounds.
The stories told in video games — and how players interact with those stories — provide a lens into how humans navigate and understand the world. With this exhibition, we invite you to explore the potential of game design to make the world more empathetic, inclusive, and interconnected.
