Jugar Juegitos and Resistència Videolúdica are two cultural collectives from Galicia and Catalonia dedicated to the reflection, exhibition, critique, and connection of and around video games in our local communities. Our goal is to explore video games as cultural objects through an interdisciplinary lens. To this end, we organize cultural activities such as the “Club de joc Wholesome” from Resistència Videolúdica and the “Jugar Juegitos” exhibition from Jugar Jueguitos.

For The Overkill, Jugar Juegitos and Resistència Videolúdica want to relate with this year’s theme through the idea of “Resisting at the Margins”. The two collectives selected 5 games from minorized cultures and creators under the Spanish State and a map-fanzine made from the peripheries of video game centers of creation, to claim the value of creating from and for the local communities and to show the value of using the personal culture as a resistance method against cultural imperialism, especially present in video games. This serves as a way to resist against the industrialized forms of the medium, exposing video games in obsolete or inconvenient formats from an industry perspective.
