Join Hoang Tran Nguyen for a participatory karaoke performance, Work, Worker. With a list of songs that are themed and or titled in relation to work, working and workers, the repertoire spans trade union songs to pop music, and includes tracks in both English and Vietnamese.
The series begins in January in Footscray, at the former offices to the Australian Natives Association (ANA), a union for young, Australian-born white men formed in the colonial era, whose advocacy supported Federation and the White Australia Policy. Now the home of Mamma Chen’s, a thriving contemporary music venue and artist studio complex, the building also bears the history of multiple artistic spaces, including as a former site of long-running artist-run initiative West Space.
The song menus for this project will also be available at ACCA in advance of the events, in the Project Space: The Hoarding.
