I don’t dream of labor
Ongoing through March 19
@ Galleries at CCBC
Statement
I don’t dream of labor is a collection of work by women artists and healing practitioners that undermines hustle culture through satire and provides space and resources to foster community around well-being.
If burnout is the symptom of exploitative labor practices, then this exhibit subverts the traditional serious undertones of both work and exhibitions to find a more supportive way through the challenges of balancing work, sustaining life, and reclaiming joy.

Womxn of the World Poetry Slam
Wednesday, March 27 | Ongoing through March 30
The Womxn of the World Poetry Slam (WOWPS) is a slam for poets who identify as women. The WOWPS community was uniquely designed to honor and celebrate the stories of women in a world that readily attempts to silence and oppress them. It is a space where we are centered, safe, and encouraged.
WOWPS was introduced to the national slam poetry community in 2008 by Kimberly Simms and Deborah Marsh. The first WOWPS was held in Detroit, Michigan and since that time, the slam has been traveling all across the United States.
