FEATURED WORKSHOPS
IN THE GALLERY
There is an increasingly prevalent opinion that work should either be automated or invisible. The evolution of technology has made all forms of work more precarious and isolated. This exhibition goes behind-the-scenes to show the jobs and workplaces that we don’t usually get to see - or show them from a new perspective. It showcases the important but often overlooked jobs that keep society running, and give viewers a new window into a different side of the East Bay.
