Kristina Wong, Sweatshop Overlord

Performed in the Ellen Bye Studio
November 5 – December 18, 2022

Critics are raving that this “laugh riot” is “so good, so powerful” and “both heartening and cathartic.”

Three days into the pandemic shutdown, performance artist Kristina Wong — driven to help make a difference in the world — began sewing masks out of bedsheets and bra straps on her Hello Kitty sewing machine. Before she knew it, she had recruited hundreds of volunteers to join her as “The Auntie Sewing Squad.” With sharp humor and brilliant social commentary, this tour-de-force look at the early days of global change offers a guide for community building and an inspiring path back into a healing world.

A co-production with Boom Arts.
