Nathalie Lawhead’s Electric Zine Maker to create their

HOW

BAZAAR

Selling political games

to festivals and the

mainstream

This year Wiedemann

set up the first-ever A

Maze Bazaar, an

arthouse game market

that helps developers

making unusual and

socially critical work

connect with festival

and museum curators,

and more mainstream

publishers such as

PlayStation, Superhot

Presents and Thunderful.

“The idea is to establish

something so that

[developers] can make

a living out of it, even

when they do

experimental stuff. To

build, with this market,

some kind of continuity

and also sustainability

for developers.”
