We are thrilled to announce the open call for the fifth edition of GAIA, taking place in Barcelona in 2025. GAIA (Game Arts International Assembly) is an international symposium and gathering dedicated to exploring the intersections of games, play, and art through critical and creative perspectives. For years, GAIA has provided a unique platform for curators, artists, game designers, scholars, and cultural practitioners from around the world to engage in meaningful conversations, share pioneering projects, and foster a global network within game arts.

In 2025, GAIA will continue its commitment to creating a space that challenges boundaries and nurtures interdisciplinary exchange, especially within the fields of playful culture, game design, and interactive media. We invite proposals from individuals and groups. Whether you are a developer, artist, researcher, or cultural producer, your work and ideas can contribute to making GAIA 2025 a transformative experience for all participants.

Join us in shaping the future of game arts and creating connections that transcend geographical and disciplinary borders!
