Make the question visible,
then make action possible.

Transparent Brunch turns structural pressures faced by first-generation migrant workers into roles, policies, work, care, and difficult life choices. By moving social pain into a tabletop situation, the project asks participants to encounter it through play rather than distant statistics — and to notice how systems distribute time, opportunity, and care.
