HOME/WELLNESS

Cherish Marquez’s socially-conscious video games are explorations of the psyche, intergenerational trauma, Latinx iconography, the decolonization of sacred spaces and queer narratives. This piece takes the player through three worlds, full of ritual and symbolism. Directions on the screen tell the player where to position their hands on the prayer rug - which functions as the video game’s controller and is designed based on indigenous Mexican craft - so they may access each successive world and thereby progress on their path to healing.
