Coffee & Culture

Please join us for a trailer screening and discussion about BURNOUT, a new immersive installation by Georgia Dawkin and Drew Pardy. Using textiles, video, and performance, these artists examine racing culture and terminology. Their playful critique explores how burnout and unrecognized labour are common experiences for many women and creative workers.

This is a free program but a ticket is required. Get your ticket online or by calling 709-757-8090. Admission to the galleries is included.
