Workforce for art project at Iniva Arts Center London

Artist Shiraz Bayjoo (examples of his work demonstrated above) transforms Rivington Place's Education Space into a temporary artist run factory this autumn. It becomes the setting for a new workforce in response to exhibitions by NS Harsha and Chen Chieh-jen.

Join Bayjoo's labour team - drop in for an hour on Thursdays between 6-8pm or Saturdays 2-5pm.

Workers will be required to contribute free labour in the form of stitching, sewing and conversation in exchange for their participation in this artistic experience. No qualifications required.

Workforce recreates the collectivising demand of industry as governments call their workforce to mobilise and unite under a common cause, that of nation building. Continuing the legacy of union and collective symbols such as the red flag, Bayjoo brings workers together beneath the banner of his artistic product.

The project playfully considers the roles of individual and collective identities, the relationships and communities formed in labour forces, and the questions that arise in participating within an identity that is not necessarily your own.

A communal flag will be manufactured and fill the expanse of the gallery, representing the identity of the workforce and contributing to the history of industry's alliances.

Participation in the Workforce project takes place between 17 September - 15 October, viewing of the project continues until 21 November
