Triad Arts with David Ford Todd Drake Exposes Hidden Work and Hidden LivesJuly 3, 2012Zone of Contention: The U.S./Mexico Border is a powerful exhibition going on right now at the Weatherspoon Art Museum in Greensboro, that focuses on artists’ investigations of issues related to the U.S./Mexico border. Through photography, sculpture, works on paper, video, and new media, subjects such as migrant labor, the Dream Act, and border control are being examined in terms of their current social impact.
Zone of Contention: The U.S./Mexico Border runs through September 2. It features new and recent works by artists from the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, including David's guest, Greensboro’s Todd Drake. Todd’s new exhibit Help: Hidden Work, Hidden Lives draws a line from the enslaved to the undocumented exposing a repeating history of exploitation. It’s one man’s call to help those struggling for a better life through work and education.
This is part one of David's conversation with Todd about his 2009 project Muslim Self Portraits.
