Work, embedded

“Arnold’s work was not and is not on a separate plane from her day job; it is work, embedded in the broader web of capitalist social relations.” 🔥

A new ICA digital essay written by writer and reporter published on the occasion of solo exhibition “Gospel of the Working Class” opening Saturday!

Find the essay in our link in bio, as well as on Tabitha’s exhibition page on our main site, as well as at the bottom of our main homepage: icachatt.org
