"An incisive look at the intersection of artisanal craft and industrial manufacturing, highlighting the dignity of work through monumental sculptural arrangements and archival film."
Material Resistance and Labour showcases a rigorous collection of sculptural works that pay homage to the grit and determination of the East London working class. Using iron, brick, and textile, the participating artists reconstruct the history of local trade through an abstract lens. The exhibition serves as both a historical record and a forward-looking statement on the future of physical production in a service-dominated global economy.
