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, a variety of artists, activists and scholars will perform. The prose and poetry will be followed by a performance by The Lady Aye, “sweetheart of the sideshow.”
Come Slam Precarious Work! Confirmed “slammers” include: Kathi Weeks Cecilia Vicuña Jeanann Verlee Celina Su Anne LeGoff Stephon Lawrence Kellie Jackson Sean Hill Elena Glasberg Estelle Ferrarese Fashion Praxis Collective Victoria Hattam Alyson Cole David Brody Meena Alexander
