These Hands
Mar 23, 2018 - May 05, 2018
Rabbit hunting in the snow. Weaving textiles on a backstrap loom. Smashing up rocks in a sun drenched quarry in Tanzania. Cleaning office buildings by night. The films in this exhibition are organized around work鈥攈ow it鈥檚 imagined, mythologized, and represented. These artists look at women as labourers in societies where their labour is often invisible and undervalued. Here, the terms of employment are being challenged鈥攂y union organizing, collective working models, and questioning the terms of value. Ranging from ethnographic studies to structural experiments, the films in this exhibition critique and re-imagine the conditions in which these groups of women work together.
