Repressed IV: May Day was a self-initiated exhibition on workers’ rights that Mended Arrow co-curated and opened on May Day or International Workers’ Day. The promotional materials for the exhibition included a silk-screened poster that paid homage to the appalachian coal miner’s Union or “Red Necks”; whom wore red bandanas as a form of solidarity. Using the same symbol of solidarity, we screen-printed several hundred red bandannas to hand out during a May Day Parade—Mended Arrow also helped organize—that literally ended at the exhibition’s door step.
