Migrantopoly
Ricardo Miranda Zúñiga
December 12th — Until further notice
A contribution to the 2025-2026 Shared Dialogue, Shared Space (SDSS) program: a series of community-based artistic interventions in public space
MIGRANTOPOLY is a Monopoly-style board game that parallels the history of U.S. immigration law with the U.S. gross domestic product, demonstrating how the national economy has grown through migrant labor. Through the summer of 2025, the game was presented on the street to inform participants, gather interviews and workshop ideas for new immigration policies. Participants were also invited to share their migrant histories. An online virtual version of the game will be presented freely online. And just as in the physical street game play, users will be invited to record and submit their migrant histories. All audio recordings will also be available online. From the site, the board game itself will be freely available to download and print.
