Working class art explores our working lives through traditional and experimental aesthetics. The goals of the Murphy Blog Arts and Culture section are to create vibrant, dialogic spaces for student and community activists, workers and artists. We are looking for visual, textual, and aural pieces on urban and labor issues including those that ask: What is “urban”? “What is a “working class voice” and where may that voice enter? What roles do race and gender play? How is labor linked to art? What is the relationship of the images, sounds, and moments of our working lives to our creative lives and how do they influence one another? Does form and genre figure into these questions and if so, how?

We’d like to hear from you!
