Really exciting news today - we present you PROW:ESSE - an exhibition featuring non-male presenting #demoscene artists, showing off their work as well as telling their stories, barriers they faced as professionals due to gender expectations and their wisdom to people just starting on the path they had to navigate.
A big thank you to @hackthepromise and SCREENCOM for enabling us to realise the premiere in September, showcasing those amazing artists!
Make sure to stop by!

We are excited to see that it won't be just us demo-ing up @CoSin 's program next week, but also see our very own OHP compo queen regines holding a workshop to bounce demomaking ideas between folks! We couldn't be more grateful to see how the Swiss community is reviving, and seeing new and seasoned faces alike enriching the #demoscene!
Don't forget to stop by next weekend if you're close to Berne!
