Juno Morrow

Juno Morrow (born 1986) is an American multidisciplinary artist, independent game designer, educator, and photographer whose work often deals with existential and ontological themes. Morrow received her Bachelor of Arts from the University of Houston in 2009 and her Master of Fine Arts from Parsons School of Design in 2015. She is an assistant professor of game design at Eugenio María de Hostos Community College of the City University of New York.

Career Juno Morrow's early work primarily consisted of travel and street photography before growing to include interactive media, such as games. Oral Perspectives, also released in 2014, is a game designed for VR that uses a microphone and a custom jaw sensor. It aims to challenge traditional systemic notions of truth and deconstruct the binary of abstract/mental, material/physical, and artificial/real. Conspiracy Theories About Myself is inspired by her experience as a transgender person walking down the street. The goal of the game is to make it home without crying. Conspiracy Theories About Myself later went on to be showcased at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Morrow's artwork and designs have been exhibited internationally. She has also advocated for making games education accessible to people of color and for labor organization within the games industry. Morrow has also been developing the first public game design degree program in New York City since 2015. Circumnavigators (in collaboration with Andy Wallace) (2018)
