A Public Art Project that celebrates the resilience and diversity of essential workers in New York City. Throughout the festival, we screened 10 of the 14 short films, each of which profiles a different worker who introduces us to their world, their work, and their dreams for the future. This video features 8 of them. The project also involves banners with life-size painted portraits, posters, and a planned wall mural at the Electrical Workers Training Center (IBEW Local #3) in Long Island City.
