In her debut solo exhibition, Joni P. Gordon deconstructs her experience as an immigrant worker in the U.S. State Department’s Summer Work and Travel Program through sculpture, photography and sound. Having entered The Work and Travel Program while a tertiary student, Gordon’s work unpacks the experience of how students from low and middle income countries are recruited to work for minimum wage in the U.S. and elucidates the link between geopolitical power and racial discrimination.
