lunchbox

It's 2021, but across the U.S. kids are still being mocked for bringing in 'stinky' ethnic lunches to school. While this is definitely not a uniquely AAPI experience, until a couple of years ago, we have had people call our dumplings or noodles 'gross' or avoid sitting at the same bench during lunch. In lunchbox, explore different locations on campus across 9 levels and watch as the effects turn to a resentment of their culture as well as the struggle to reconcile with it when their culture and foods become trendy, blurring the line between appreciation and appropriations.

How to Play:

• use the arrow keys to navigate across 9 levels
•  space bar for jumping
• move cursor to rotate.
• click on the student in yellow to "find her"

find the student in yellow (the odd one out).
