Baby Ghosts

Baby Ghosts is a Canadian registered charity providing cooperative governance education, professional development, and open resources for marginalized creators in Canada's interactive digital arts sector. We spread awareness and education about cooperatives, as both a business model and a grassroots movement to address the social and economic issues faced by displaced and disheartened game workers.

Our work centres marginalized artists, collectives, and cooperatives in the sector, advocating for their freedom to create work that reflects our collective cultural and social richness. We deliver low-barrier educational programs and build a supportive cross-disciplinary community where the process and work of artists historically left out of digital arts spaces is resourced, celebrated, and platformed. By providing material support and education on cooperative and worker-centric models to underrepresented artists, we add diverse stories and perspectives to the Canadian interactive digital arts ecosystem and remove barriers these creators face when entering the sector.

We are also mandated to advocate for systemic change: an ecosystem that supports cooperative and worker-centric studio models. We work with artists, funding bodies, educational institutions, and other partners.
