Brathwaite-Shirley makes participatory games that archive the stories of Black trans people. Past works include THE DELUSION, commissioned by Serpentine Arts Technologies, THE SOUL STATION at LAS Art Foundation in Berlin and THE REBIRTHING ROOM at Studio Voltaire. The most recent release, The Eyes Under the Sky, is a free browser horror game about gender enforcement in public toilets.
The Penny Stamps series brings artists to the Michigan Theater most Thursdays, free of charge. Killscreen has covered Brathwaite-Shirley's work for years.

Almost nobody covers artists who make games this seriously; Killscreen has done it for fifteen years. The free newsletter brings that coverage straight to you.
