July 12, 6:00 PM–8:00 PM
For this member tour, Terri C Smith will take folks through the original group exhibition, “The Work of Love, The Queer of Labor,” exploring how the works represent a desire for liberation through critically engaged connections between class, gender and sexuality. LGBTQI identities are reviewed from the class perspective in order to re-discover political potentialities within a countercultural paradigm of queerness. While exploring queerness through the relationship with class, the exhibition interrogates the possibility of love in a class-based society, in which the difference between work, as a productive force in capitalist economy, and labor, as a condition of biological life, is almost gone.
