Images at Work: Strike and Sabotage

“Strike and Sabotage” proposes a shared grammar and common ground for labor struggle and anticolonial struggle.

The film and video program Images at Work is conceived as an offshoot of and appendix to Performing Conditions—dependent on the whole, even as it supports it. Each thematic program screens for three weeks in the Bakalar Gallery. The films screen on a loop during gallery hours.

Featured films:
Alanis Obomsawin, Spudwrench: Kahnawake Man, 1997. 58 min.
Razan AlSalah, A Stone’s Throw, 2024. 40 min.

Images at Work is organized by Ramona Ngin, Curatorial Assistant.
