In this workshop the group will discuss two different approaches to the issue of work by feminist scholars, Silvia Federici and Kathi Weeks. Specifically the workshop will explore Federici’s Wages Against Housework (1975) and the third chapter of Kathi Weeks’ book The Problem With Work: Feminism, Marxism, Antiwork Politics and Postwork Imaginaries (2011). These texts will serve us as a starting point to discuss political strategies for self-organization and struggle against unpaid cultural and artistic labor.

The workshop requires that the participants read both texts in advance.
