About the institute
Mar 20 – 21 | Mon – Tue, 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Workers today face similar challenges as those before us – creating solidarity beyond boundaries, borders, sectors, and identities. Historically, the arts are a powerful tool to build bridges in organized labor. Through film, music, and art, explore worker struggles and discover tools to help create a diverse, engaging, and inclusive labor movement. The coal miners in Which Side Are You On?, Latin@ and women in Salt of the Earth, poor and migrants in The Ghost of Tom Joad, African Americans in At the River I Stand, and more are included in the program. Join us to examine the lessons of the past and how they can help us discover ways to use labor arts in our contemporary organizing and education.
