Labour Fair 2022: Pandemic Edition highlights some of the main struggles that workers – and particularly student workers -- are facing today.
Over the five days of the Labour Fair, we will be posting video and audio resources focused on workers’ rights for students, the work and immigration rights of international students and the exciting organizing growing out of gig workers’ solidarity and activism.

2014 - 2020.
WE ARE NO LONGER ACTIVE. THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT.

TORONTO, CANADA.

Precariat Content uses documentary and experiments in sound art to discuss the economic, cultural, and political conditions that produce and plague the career artist and her work.

Art/Work/Play is a podcast by the Canadian video game collective SpekWork.
Our biweekly episodes cover art, games and interactive media with a critical focus on the politics of production.

Hosted by Jonathan Carroll, Ben McCarthy, and Cat Bluemke, with guest art-, game- and community workers.

Four Sisters is the final instalment of The Empire trilogy, a collection of stories that weave together 500 years of abstracted history through live performance, graphic novels, and podcasts. In our last story, The Scavenger’s Daughter, which took place 259 years ago, we left The Empire cannibalizing its ruins and re-enter it now as its ‘democratic’ rule attempts to cure its social plagues: biological, economic, and narcotic. Four Sisters follows Sarah, a woman who has defied death, who is living on the margins and raising a family of girls orphaned by the women she once employed. When a mysterious plague breaks out, a strange doctor arrives and discovers that the girls are plague-positive, Sarah must choose between treating the girls with an experimental new drug or no treatment at all.

Written by Susanna Fournier.

Music and editing by Ben McCarthy.

Performed by Bea Pizano, Chala Hunter, Aria Evans, Alison Wong, Krystina Bojanowski, and Susanna Fournier.  

Produced by PARADIGM productions and recorded at SKETCH Working Arts. 

Podcast art work by Saira Sabri with Empire logos by Christo Graham.

Downstream from what explores the links between art, and social justice. We interview a group of cultural creators, artists, and activists to speak about the link between art and social change. Season Two includes interviews with sound artist and educator Ben McCarthy; Educator, visual artist and musician Samantha Wehbi; Educator, multidisciplinary artist Natalie Wood; Labour and Pro Democracy activist and educator Winnie Ng; Singer-Songwriter and Activist Simone Schmidt .


The first season included interviews with Kiké Roach and Alex Bierk along with series co-creator Ken Moffatt.  As with the practice of art the interviews span a great many topics and a wide variety of creative interventions.

Downstream from What is created under auspices of the Jack Layton Chair at Toronto Metropolitan University We appreciate the support of the Dean of Arts and Dean of Community Services
