Shimu works in a clothing factory in Dhaka, Bangladesh. After a fire in the factory results in the death of a co-worker, Shimu is approached by a union advocate who provides her with a crash course in women workers&#x27; rights — and the tools to enforce them. Interweaving worker’s rights and feminist solidarity, Rubaiyat Hossain’s film tells the story of women who must fight and find a way.Gathering is an exhibition exploring the relationship between textiles and the environment. Grounded in community participation, this installation takes up migration, diaspora, and the reclamation of ancestral traditions.
