Prof. Ricardo Miranda’s project MIGRANTOPOLY will be part of an outdoor participatory art event:
Shared Dialogue, Shared Space
Sat. Aug. 23 | 7AM-3PM
Mt. Hope: Grand Concourse at E 179th Street
Featuring Ali Motamedi, Cecilia Lim, Lizbeth De La Cruz Santana, and Ricardo Miranda Zuniga
Shared Dialogue, Shared Space (SDSS) 2025 program is an ongoing series of outdoor participatory art events held at accessible community hubs in New York City neighborhoods. Produced by the Korea Art Forum (KAF) in conjunction with the NYC Department of Transportation Summer Streets, the four 2025 Artist Fellows will present their works this Saturday.
Play MIGRANTOPOLY with Prof. Miranda, a Monopoly-style board game that collapses the histories of U.S. immigration policy and gross domestic product to demonstrate the growth of the national economy due to migrant labor. Unsurprisingly, periods of isolationism correlate with economic stagnancy, whereas generous immigration policy has led to growth. Use the game to imagine future and humane immigration policies; share your own migrant history.
