Manual Labours:The Office(less) Christmas Party

Friday 12 December 2014, 6-9pm

Free, no booking required

The party will launch the first Manual Labours Film Club, on the theme of The Complaining Body. Beginning with a screening of Live Nude Girls, Unite! (2000) directed by Vicky Funari and Julia Query, selected and introduced by artist Rehana Zaman. Followed by discussion, drinks and a Complaints Karaoke.

Manual Labours is supported by Arts Council England’s Grants for the Arts and Birkbeck University Widening Participation.

The event marks the second stage of the practice based research project Manual Labours, initiated by Sophie Hope and Jenny Richards, exploring physical and emotional relationships to work and focuses our artistic activity in exploring the complaining body through a series of workshops with complaints teams across different sectors within the UK. These workshops will inform three new commissions by visual artist Sarah Browne, choreographer Hamish MacPherson and writer Ivor Southwood and a programme of Film Clubs, Reading Groups, exhibitions and published texts developed in partnership with The Showroom, London; In Certain Places, Preston and Movement and Division of Labour, Worcester.
