SUMMARY:You Never Asked My Name
DESCRIPTION:Artist Jill Eastland brings to life the dark blue tabards typically worn by the lowest paid and most precarious workers\, with embroidery and sound; co-creating stories of work and migration with asylum seekers\, refugees and migrant workers. \nSunday 5th October to Wednesday 8th October – 10am to 6pm \nPresented as part of the Platforma Festival (October 2025) produced by Counterpoints Arts. \nPreview: Saturday 4th October 5pm to 7pm\nIncluding discussion: How can art assist in the understanding of the experience of migrant workers\, refugees and asylum seekers in the UK? With artist Jill Eastland\, Tom Green (or Maren) from Counterpoints Arts and other guest speakers. \nWorkshop: Wednesday 8th October 1 to 4pm\nAn interactive talk with artist Jill Eastland. Jill invites you to wear the dark blue tabards most often worn by workers such as carers and cleaners\, who are frequently migrants\, refugees\, women\, precarious workers\, disabled workers and low paid workers. These workers are contradictorily marked as different by the wearing of this uniform\, but also rendered invisible. Jill will discuss how she has used these tabards as a kind of canvas to draw and stitch onto with words and images about workers rights and migration\, as a tool for solidarity and to investigate the everyday experience of wearing them. \n \nJill Eastland is an activist artist and a survivor of mixed heritage. Her work explores themes of social and climate justice. She favours community based and collaborative working practices. She often employs multiples; to create a more detailed discussion of a theme and she tends to produce open-ended bodies of work\, as well as finished pieces. Her work is often very detailed and can contain elements of realism and abstraction together.
