Commentary: In this piece I take dead aim at how being Black in our culture can be like playing a very dangerous game. I use imagery from an old arcade shooting gallery to make this point. Throughout the 1800's right up until the 1960's carnival games used racial stereotypical likenesses of African Americans as targets!
Medium: Old farrier box refashioned into an arcade game with antique toy pinball game as background, old gun part, racist Victorian cutouts, antique articulated tin Uncle Sam dancer, metal cowboy game pieces, 3 antique tintypes of Black men & boy, flag
