The selected artists Carole Condé & Karl Beveridge, Min Sook Lee, and Kwentong Bayan Collective have been winners of the Min Sook Lee Labour Arts Awards. The works chosen for the exhibition deal specifically with the issues of migrant workers and how these artists have engaged in different mediums to empower the voices of these communities.
