This temporary, multi-national exhibition encompasses a
variety of styles and pays homage to the endurance and vigor of manual laborers
who are the fabric of any functioning society. The images display the quiet
resilience and resolve of laborers whose day-to day existences have fascinated
artists interested in social realism and in the preservation of a strong
work ethic in society.
