Out the Can

Born Here

Out The Can by Gabriel Boyd @ New Jersey Monuments to Migration and Labor, NJMML.com

These works are reverent meditations on memory, labor, and inheritance. Born from
dialogues with descendants of Seabrook cannery workers and archival research, they hold
fragments of grief, endurance, and collective courage. A rusted can ruptured by raised fists and a
layered archival collage with the logo of Seabrook, spotlighting the struggle of identity that exists in the labor of the past and present. I offer these images as tribute to the unnamed hands that sustained community, to the uprisings that remade possibility, and to the ongoing labor of remembrance that makes liberation possible, and to the generations who follow.
