The Tool Book Project was conceived of in the wake of the 2016 US presidential election as a way to connect and provide a platform for artists, writers and cultural producers and to raise funds for social and environmental justice groups that are made vulnerable under this administration. Now, three years in, Work Book, the third volume of The Tool Book Project, considers the future of institutional critique, direct social action, how our daily labor and leisure intersect with the ways we relate, resist, and create, and what can we glean from revisiting past Art and Labor movements.

​

Here we highlight the work of contemporary artists and writers whose work address a broad set of themes, ranging from domestic labor, union work,  political puns, feminist consumer culture, cultural translation and inter-special relationships.
