Waging Life
The Lycoming College Downtown Art Gallery, located in downtown Williamsport, Pennsylvania, is seeking submissions for their National Juried Exhibition, Waging Life.
The definition of the working class is constantly in flux, and can change according to the individual views and experiences of people from a variety of racial, socioeconomic, generational, and geographical sectors. Despite the gilded concept of the “American Dream,” much of the population fails to ever reach their career and life goals. However, happiness, family, and life are still experienced. With the recent recession and the uncertain future of Social Security, the middle and lower class structure is becoming more volatile. Therefore, how does one even define the working class? Is it determined by the number of hours worked? Is it decided by the type of job performed? Is there an income level specific of those in the working class?
Any interpretations of the working class created would reflect the socioeconomic status or prejudices the individual may hold. All submitted work should explore this theme and challenge the various definitions of the working class and open a dialogue about America’s class structure.
