Welfare (1975) film screening

For Tell us if something changes, artist Rangi White draws on the aesthetics of a Work and Income Office to consider how material and spatial conditions structure a person’s encounters with the state. Join us for a film screening of Welfare (1975), with an introduction by White in a discussion of Aotearoa's welfare bureaucracies.

Welfare, directed by Frederick Wiseman, explores the complexity of the welfare system, highlighting issues like housing, unemployment, and medical problems. It shows both welfare workers and clients struggling to navigate the laws and regulations that impact their lives.
