Trolley Herder, a video installation in the you're okay front window at the City of Sydney Creative Studios (CoSCS) explores the commodification of physical labour.
The role of the trolley collector is a commodification of the mundane and tedious. Though without their work there would be no order in our society. The performance intends to lighten trolley herders' burdens and assist in maintaining order in our society.
About the artist: Emily Greenwood is a mixed-Tongan, multidisciplinary artist and underground writer living in Sydney. Their work explores themes involving body dysmorphia, intergenerational trauma, loss of culture, sexism, racism and classism. Recently they have begun to explore the intersection between Eurocentric and Pasifika art histories and theories through their practice of cultural appropriation and adaptation. Their most significant work to date is their self-written, produced and published intersectional feminist zine 'GRRL ZINE'.
About the space: you're okay by Brand X is an art activation space in the foyer and front window of the City of Sydney Creative Studios. The space brings contemporary and experimental digital, performance and installation art directly to Sydney's CBD footpath and the daily city commuters. Showcasing local, national and the studio's in-residence talent, you're okay offers uncommon and unconventional art to take you out of your everyday.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its arts funding and advisory body and the City of Sydney.
