Our Work Is These Conversations

Podcast: EP2 “To Belong Beyond Nationalities” A conversation between Art Action Earwig and photographer Tadafumi Tamura, facilitated and edited by Rebecca Wang for podcast through The Access Gallery.

In this black and white photo by Marjo Wright, the artists are holding wooden sticks of two paper cut signs framed by cardboard. Minah is stretching her arms to hold “Art”. She is looking at the camera. Wryly is holding a sign forward with the right arm. The sign reads “Action.” Wryly is stretching their left arm up above Minah's head to hold a flashlight, pointing down to the signs. They are standing in front of a door with brick and wooden wall around it.
