Means of Production

What does it mean to be productive? How can we challenge ourselves to rethink the value of stillness?

Work Of Art
: A Monthly Conversation Series hosted by Means of Production

Hosted by Means of Production, Work Of Art is a monthly conversation series focused on exploring the meaning and impact of labour in our lives. Part book club, part salon, and part social club, registration to this 2 hour mostly-digital series is completely free and open to anyone who wants to attend; while we come from an arts work background and may speak from that experience, labour is universal and all perspectives are valid and pertinent.

This isn’t a class or a lecture series. There are no experts in the room. This series is intended to create space for conversations and curiosity. There is no quiz at the end, and if we’re being honest, you don’t even have to read the books. Attendance to all sessions is not mandatory to participate in the series.

All books featured in this series are available at a 10% discount from Queen Books when you indicate you’re joining the Means of Production book club in your order. We’ve also included links to the books through Kobo (for ebooks) and the Toronto Public Library (for print, ebook, and audiobook). All books should be available through most libraries. Please visit pmtd.ca for links to libraries and retailers.

Please register for individual sessions on Eventbrite to gain access to links and receive updates and notifications.
