ZAPZARAP

The game ZAPZARAP presented in the shape of an arcade game, seeks to call attention to social problems related to the (post)colonial exploitation of Africa. A special focus lies on the emancipation of identity markers that were previously underrepresented in the world of games: the heroine is a woman of color. It aims to make the industry as well as the relatively young demographic reflect, in addition to confronting the subject matter.
