WorkingStories - Karen Westphalen
Part of Lowell Women's Week
|
|
Friday, March 6th
8:00pm-10:00pm
Admission $7 ($5 for TRM Members)
Ages 18+
(Part of Women’s Week) Karen
Westphalen will give an artist talk about her project WorkingStories.
WorkingStories is an audio documentary created from interviews with
women and men who have worked in the sex industry. This project intends
to portray the real lives of individuals who are frequently
misunderstood and misrepresented. Many of the interviewees discuss
their work as something that they chose to do. By challenging ourselves
to see beyond the negative stereotypes, we can hopefully begin to
understand the plight of those for whom prostitution is a trap, not a
choice, the individuals who most need help in order to find a way out.

Tuesday-Sunday
11:00am-4:00pm
Free General Admission
All ages About
the Exhibition: Depicting the essentials of a story, narrative art
represents accounts from everyday life, mythology, fantasy, famed
historical events and more. Narrative art in its many forms has
transcended all eras of human existence. It teaches, enlightens,
entertains and inspires. Cave paintings have given us a peek into the
past. Performance tells a story through dance and music. Paintings have
enchanted us with images of the human experience and multimedia will
bring our stories to future generations. The
Revolving Museum gallery will feature narrative art for 2009.
Throughout the year the Show and Tell exhibit will change and display
work from local artists and youth groups. Frequent performances and
events will also mark the calendar all year long. See images from the February 12th opening event!
