2024 FESTIVAL
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.
Please join us in envisioning labour justice and celebrating working people. All Mayworks Festival events are free.
