(2019) Laminate Game Spaces, International symbols, Card stock, Tibetan silver wings, Referee outfit, whistle
A modern take on Posada’s Game of the Goose (Juego de la Oca), a Mexican take on Chutes and Ladders. Karimi’s version gallery participants became geese trying to migrate borders and avoid receiving a yellow or red card from a haphazard referee- hoping to get a green card which institutionally allows them to be fly free. The design uses international road fonts to bring home the global crisis that is U.S. immigration policy and the horrific and indiscriminate treatment of Central Americans in detention centers.
