The Laboring Self

Exhibition: https://biblio.csusm.edu/content/spring-2018-exhibition

The Context Library Series is pleased to present The Laboring Self, on display March 14- July 1, 2018 in the library gallery. The Laboring Self is an interactive installation that draws parallels between unregulated labor and its effect on workers’ bodies in both the Industrial Revolution and Mechanical Turk workers on Amazon.com’s online job platform. In this exhibit, xtine burrough and Sabrina Starnaman present three works within this larger series: Hired Hands, Weaving Texts: An Untitled Audio Tour, and Illuminated Voices. Each work is an artful invitation for visitors to participate in a conversation about labor and their bodies.



An interactive piece that allows students to write down their opinions about their relationship to their work environment.


A seat for students to rest upon while embroidering.
