About the event

Mayworks Festival: The Strike (2024) Screening + Discussion
In 2013, 30,000 incarcerated people went on a hunger strike that spread into a feat of unity across California prisons. Followed by panel.

About this Event

English language, 86 minutes
Doors open at 6:30PM



The high-security Pelican Bay Pr*son was designed for mass-scale solitary confinement, often for a decade or more, and with little due process. In 2013, 30,000 incarcerated people went on a hunger strike that spread into a feat of unity across California prisons. The Strike follows these solitary survivors who fought to abolish indefinite isolation.

Followed by moderated discussion providing Canadian context in regard to Pr*son conditions, Pr*son labour, hunger strikes, and other forms of Pr*son resistance. 

Panelists:
Jordan House (Labour Studies, Brock University)
Nala Ismacil (Barton Prisoner Solidarity Network)
Moderated by Furqan Mohamed


Accessibility: Innis College is accessible on the main floor, including the Town Hall.

An accessible gender-neutral washroom is located on the third floor of the east wing.


annually presents new works by a diverse range of artists, who are both workers and activists. We prioritize the participation of artists and audiences from communities facing systemic discrimination. Our programming offers bold, insightful, responses to pressing issues at the intersection of art, social justice and labour. We are actively engaged in a social dialogue that challenges the logics of capitalism, and seeks to reimagine and represent a just future.
