Breaking ICE is part of Come to Your Census: Who Counts In America?, an art and civic experience at YBCA designed to mobilize the Bay Area around the urgent, long-term impact of the 2020 Census.
Recognizing the role of artists as first responders to any social crisis, and in response to the potential of COVID-19 to dampen Census turnout, YBCA quickly reimagined the physical opening of this art and civic experience. They will amplify the Come to Your Census campaign and its artists on digital platforms to underscore that the Census is an essential service which ensures our communities’ long-term health and strength. The Come To Your Census digital engagements will take a variety of forms, including interactive video games, virtual gatherings, newly commissioned written and filmed artist responses, and more.

A Community Response to a Citizenship Test,
2017–Ongoing
Based loosely on the 100 questions United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) use to test aspiring citizens, Breaking ICE replaces the high stakes civics and history questions aimed to filter people with an open invitation to cultivate community across difference.
We invite you to choose a question, write a response (beyond a simple yes or no), and read the responses that others before you have shared.

Breaking ICE es un parte de Come to Your Census: Who Counts In America?, una experiencia cívica y artística en YBCA diseñada para movilizar el Área de la Bahía sobre el impacto urgente a largo plazo del Censo 2020.
Reconociendo el papel de los artistas como los primeros en responder a cualquier crisis social, y en respuesta al potencial de COVID-19 para amortiguar la participación en el Censo, YBCA rápidamente reinventó la apertura física de este arte y experiencia cívica. Ampliarán la campaña Come to Your Census y sus artistas en plataformas digitales para subrayar que el Censo es un servicio esencial que garantiza la salud y la fortaleza a largo plazo de nuestras comunidades. Los compromisos digitales de Come To Your Census tomarán una variedad de formas, incluyendo videojuegos interactivos, reuniones virtuales, respuestas de artistas escritas y filmadas, y más.

Basado libremente en las 100 preguntas que utiliza el United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) para evaluar a los ciudadanos aspirantes, "Breaking ICE" reemplaza las preguntas de alto nivel sobre cívica e historia destinadas para filtrar a las personas con una invitación abierta para cultivar una comunidad a través de la diferencia. Al reemplazar el examen con instrucciones políticas, personales y filosóficas, los visitantes pueden explorar la idea de la ciudadanía basado en un sentido de pertenencia en vez de documentación formal.
Elija una pregunta y participe en un diálogo abierto y reflexivo con la gente a su alrededor.

Ang Breaking Ice ay bahagi ng Come to Your Census: Who Counts In America ?, isang sining at karanasang pampubliko sa YBCA na idinisenyo upang mapakilos ang Bay Area sa paligid ng madaliang, pangmatagalang epekto ng 2020 Census.
Kinikilala ang papel na ginagampanan ng mga artista bilang unang tumugon sa anumang krisis sa lipunan, at bilang tugon sa potensyal ng COVID-19 sa pagpapatamlay ng pagpupulong ng Census, mabilis na binago ng YBCA ang pisikal na pagbubukas ng karanasan sa sining at sibikang ito. Palalakasin nila ang kampanya ng Come to Your Census at ang mga artista nito sa mga digital platform upang bigyang-diin na ang Census ay isang mahalagang serbisyo na nagsisiguro sa pangmatagalang kalusugan at lakas ng ating mga komunidad. Ang digital na pamamahagi ng Come To Your Census ay kukuha ng iba’t ibang porma, kabilang ang mga interactive na mga laro sa video, virtual na pagtitipon, bagong inatasang nakasulat at kinunan na mga tugon ng artista, at iba pa.

Batay lamang sa 100 na katanungan na ginagamit ng United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) para masuri ang mga umaasang mamamayan, pinapalitan ng Breaking ICE ang mga kritikal na mga sibiko at mga katanungan sa kasaysayan na naglalayong salain ang mga tao sa bukas na paanyaya upang linangin ang komunidad sa pagkakaiba-iba. Sa pamamagitan ng pagpapalit ng pagsusuri sa pampulitika, personal, at pilosopikal na mga senyas, maaaring galugarin ng mga bisita ang ideya ng pagkamamamayan batay sa isang pakiramdam ng pagiging kasali kaysa sa pormal na dokumentasyon.
Inaanyayahan ka naming pumili ng isang katanungan, magsulat ng tugon, at basahin ang mga tugon na ibinahagi ng iba bago ka magbahagi.

社區對於公民考試的回應，
2017–進行中
《Breaking ICE》大致參考了美國公民及移民服務局 (USCIS) 用於測試有志入籍成為公民的100道問題，將篩選人群的高風險公民和歷史問題替換成為了跨越差異和共同打造社群的公開邀請。
我們懇請你選擇一個問題，並開誠佈公地與周圍的人進行反思和對話。
