The Smoking Section

Documentation of a live game show performance with Rachel Yang and Mandy Nguyen for UnionDocs's June 2023 showcase: "A Joint Venture: Live Stories Scouting the Smoke Shops of NYC."

This is a game show where participants are challenged to navigate the marijuana gray market in NYC by listening alone. Contestants compete against each other by listening to audio that evidences different kinds of sales and products within NYC’s less-than-regulated economy. TV game shows of the 90s meet millennial DIY aesthetic in this outrageous and absurd participatory performance.
