Game of
Queens

Game of Queens transforms the street into a walkable, playable chessboard and turns art into a form of social interaction across generations.

Passersby become players, spectators become participants. The chessboard becomes a place of encounter where people connect, engage, and act together. Art emerges through exchange.

The title intentionally shifts the focus to the queen — versatile, strong, and mobile — as a symbol of diversity, agency, and social dynamics. The game becomes a metaphor for urban coexistence.

In the context of a city like New York, the installation activates public space as an open site for participation, dialogue, and shared experience.
