Taring Padi work on display in Afterwork exhibition

Afterwork is a major group exhibition held from March 19 – May 29, 2016 exploring issues of class, race, labor, and migration in Hong Kong, its surrounding region, and beyond. It is part of  gallery Para Site’s ongoing Hong Kong’s Migrant Domestic Workers Project, a long-term initiative aimed at engaging the domestic worker community through collaboratively organised public programmes and commissioned artist research. As an exhibition, Afterwork is nevertheless an autonomous proposition, including the often ambivalent and polychromatic aspects of the social and cultural mosaic of Hong Kong, Philippines, Indonesia, as well as of other contexts.

Afterwork includes works by Taring Padi from the 2004 Buruh (Workers) woodcut print series that was made in response to the case around the mistreatment of female worker Nirmala Bonat. The work was previously exhibited at the Singapore Art Museum in 2004.
