who we are
Baby Ghosts grew out of research into the barriers faced by underrepresented creators in Canada's interactive digital arts sector. We work alongside Gamma Space Collaborative Studio, a member cooperative, to provide education and pre-formation support - the foundational work teams need before seeking external funding or incorporation.

We are an alternative. An invitation. We play as if the game isn't important. The rules aren't important. As if the only really important thing is each other.
