Hard Graft: Work, Health and Rights

Our film If toxic air is a monument to slavery, how do we take it down? from our 2021 investigation Environmental Racism in Death Alley, Louisiana is presented as part of Hard Graft: Work, Health and Rights, a group exhibition on view at the Wellcome Collection in London.

The exhibition delves into the stories of underrepresented workers and their rights within precarious and unsafe labour environments. From protests to healing practices, the exhibition unveils hidden histories of resistance and collective action.

Through a collection of over 150 items, including historical objects, contemporary artworks, films and new commissions, Wellcome invites the audience to witness the interconnectedness of working practices across the globe and the enduring fight for workers’ rights.
