 Portrait of Solidarity exhibition
with Carole Condé and Karl Beveridge, Min Sook Lee, and Kwentong Bayan Collective


A SPACE WINDOWS
Exhibition runs March 28 2015 - May 16 2015
Reception: May 2, 2015

A Space Gallery and Mayworks Festival of Working People and the Arts are pleased to present Portrait of Solidarity. This exhibition in the A Space vitrines celebrates 30 years of Mayworks commitment to support labour values and movements in the arts and to showcase the cultures of working people and equity-seeking groups. 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. As the artists are at various stages of their careers, the exhibition celebrates the history and intergenerational voices of Mayworks artists.  Photo Credit: Mayworks Festival.
