New Music Gathering 2021: Performance / Workshop / Installation Presented by Women’s Labor
Free (Free (registration required))
Women’s Labor is a feminist project that repurposes domestic tools to become musical instruments. Using embedded technologies, these domestic-tool-turned instruments are explored in public installations, workshops, new compositions, and performance.
Women’s Labor addresses the issue of housework gender gap in the fight for gender equality. While strides have been made in gender equality in the workplace, women continue to shoulder the majority of unpaid work at home. The adoption of domestic activities by men in a household is crucial in creating an equitable 21st-century; yet, unlike public policies promoting equal pay, the equitable burden of domestic work in a household is difficult to enforce. The conversation surrounding housework gender gap remains one largely unspoken in public.
The event will take place at 10am Central / 8am Pacific.
