Shipyard Trust for the Arts (STAR) invites all Hunters Point Shipyard artists to submit works for an exhibit focused on labor connected to the Hunters Point Shipyard and the Bayview Hunters Point community. The show will explore Black labor—past and present—including work during World War II, the ongoing cleanup efforts, and the labor shaping the community today. As the exhibit extends into March, it will also highlight women’s contributions to labor.
Co-curated by STAR’s artists in residence under the mentorship of William Rhodes, the exhibit will feature an opening reception, an artist talk, and more. Suggestions for related events welcome!
You can sign up for the exhibit at any time, and SAVE (not SUBMIT) the form, so that you can fill in details later. It would be nice to see who is planning to participate early.
