In 2010, after New York passed America’s first laws providing basic rights for domestic workers, an advocacy group approached Studio REV- to help inform the state’s 200,000 nannies, housekeepers, and caregivers. We produced a humorous audionovela app, which reached up to 1200 users in the first month, was named by CNN as “one of 5 apps to change the world”, and received awards at Obama’s White House.
Since 2011, we’ve travelled 18,000+ miles, and reached 22,000 individuals, and millions more through the media. We feel successful when we hear things like, “I’ve been a nanny for 15 years and never thought of myself as a domestic worker entitled to basic rights — until I came across your artwork.”
