Synopsis
‘Lesbian Simulator’ is an interactive virtual reality artwork and video game which will prompt users to experience the world from the perspective of a lesbian girl. While this artistic ode to love and sexual preference doesn’t shy away from tackling serious issues as well, such as the discrimination and abuse that lesbians still face today, you can expect an uplifting experience full of joy, humour and a touch of glitter!
