Working In America

How do we value work in America? How do we value the worker, the person behind the work? How does our work inform our life, faith and community? These are questions at the heart of the new exhibit, Working in America, a multi-platform documentary initiative chronicling the everyday challenges, triumphs and realities of working. Within the common thread that everyone has a relationship to work, this powerful project is inspired by the 40th anniversary of Studs Terkel’s influential publication, Working, as a springboard for a contemporary conversation about the meaning of work and the physical and psychological realities of working in America today. This original project was developed by Project& and the Pulitzer-Prize winning photographer and Project& Fellow, Lynsey Addario, and will be on tour throughout the country.
