Jess McCormack: work = worth = innocence

I just wanted to take a quick opportunity to direct your gaze at the work of a friend of mine, Jess McCormack. Her recent work explores some of the interconnected threads between homelessness, employment, police violence, stigma and mental illness. It's powerful and thought provoking.  There is so much here, it's hard to capture it all, so I suggest you check out the website for this series, her performances this week as part of Viva! Art Action in Montreal, as well as her recent animation WHERE WE WERE NOT, PART I: Feeling Reserved, Alexus’ Story.
