On the Couch with Jini Maxwell, Australian Arts Review, 14 October 2025
Who is Jini Maxwell?
I am curator at ACMI, where I specialise in videogames. I co-curated Game Worlds, a major playable exhibition that celebrates the players, creators and designs of iconic videogame worlds, and last year I curated Honk: Untitled Goose Exhibition, an exhibition about how the Melbourne-made silly-stealth videogame, Untitled Goose Game, was made and played. In a past life, I was an award-winning videogame journalist & critic.
Independently, I co-curate Gay24 – a monthly film night showcasing rare, radical and archival queer films, with Samantha Eckhart. I also try to sit in the sun as often as possible.
