'Powerhouse Late: Art and Labour' presents an evening that echoes the challenges faced by artists trying to make art their profession.

 

Curated by Passage Gallery, through satire and wit this event questions whether artists are being fairly remunerated while positing that cultural programs need to reflect our diverse community. Drawing influence from Kay Abude’s recent exhibition ‘(DON’T) BE AN ARTIST’, Art and Labour presents panel discussions, music, installation, video works and performance art.
