Sewing Voices: The Labor we Wear is an image and text-based examination of two garment factory disasters: the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York City, March 25th, 1911, and the collapse of garment factories inside Rana Plaza in Bangladesh, April 24th, 2013. The exhibition will evolve over time with visual artist Rachel Breen and poet Alison Morse creating a large-scale drawing and poem that responds to these disasters. The exhibition will also include clothing, sound pieces, poetry and performance.
Sewing Voices will be presented in the Tychman Shapiro Gallery at the Sabes Jewish Community Center in Saint Louis Park, MN.
