Who gets to make art in Australia, and on what terms? Entangled Labours looks at the rich lives and experiences of working-class people in so-called Sydney. Including the premiere of a new film by the Class Actions Collective about the selling off of social housing in Redfern; a drag performance set in Mount Druitt; hip-hop spoken word; a performance with a brass band; and a ‘laboured’ action using amplified shovels. By showing the unique ways working-class people create, Entangled Labours asks us to think about the systems that decide who gets to make art, and the poetry that takes place in-between.
