2020 Festival

NGHTSHFTS honours those who labour in the dark – unseen, unpaid and unprotected. From April 3rd to May 30th, 2020, Mayworks will host 10 events featuring exciting and established artists whose work offers critical insight into the rise of the far right and the impacts of racism and colonialism on low-wage workers.
