Slam Precarious Work

February 14, 2018 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm

From the Center for the Humanities page:

Nothing to do on Valentine’s Day? How about joining us for an unconventional celebration of the publication of Precarious Work (edited by Alyson Cole and Victoria Hattam), WSQ (Vol. 45, Nos. 3-4, Fall/Winter 2017)?

Inspired by Kathi Weeks’s article in the issue, “Down With Love,” we will stage a late afternoon performance of anti-love letters to work, precarity, and whatever else those gathered want to disavow on February 14th. Resembling more of a poetry slam than an academic panel—including a video display of the visual essay with work by artists such as Cecilia VicuñaKatherine HattamSable Elyse SmithEllen KoshlandAgatha Gothe-SnapeFEMMO™Guerrilla GirlsShana Agid, and Dread Scott—the prose and poetry will be followed by a performance by Lady Aye, “sweetheart of the sideshow.”

Come Slam Precarious Work! Confirmed “slammers” include: Kathi WeeksCelina SuLaura Y. Liu, Anne Le Goff, Stephon LawrenceKellie Jackson, Sean HillVictoria Hattam, Elena GlasbergEstelle FerrareseFashion Praxis CollectiveAlyson ColeDavid Brody, Shana Agid, and Meena Alexander.
