39th Mayworks Festival of Working People & the Arts

39th Mayworks Festival of Working People & the Arts

Presented by Mayworks Festival of Working People and the Arts at United Steelworkers Hall

This year we feature twenty artists, each of whom engages, with compassion, the spirit of collective power.

From responses to inaccessible health care in Ontario to a fight for dignity among migrant workers in Quebec; from capturing the alienation of injured workers in Toronto to classist land grabbing in Pakistan; from an analysis of radical protests against resource exploitation in the Caribbean to clarifying the long-lasting impacts of French colonialism, and to witnessing the endurance of Palestinian political prisoners; the artworks narrate our joint struggles.

The exhibitions include multi-channel video, sculpture, textile art, installation, video, website creation and virtual landscapes. We also present live music, performing shadow puppets and curated film screenings. There are participatory workshops, informed panel discussions and intimate artist talks.

Please join us in envisioning labour justice and celebrating working people.
