"HAND BOOK" ON MAKING CHANGE AND MAKING ART

 ON HAND BOOK BY LYNNE SACHS & LIZZIE OLESKER

On tonight’s show, we’ll be joined by filmmaker Lynne Sachs and playwright Lizzie Olesker, collaborators on stage/film and derivative artwork, to discuss their new book, Hand Book: A Manual On Performance, Process and the Labor of Laundry.

Hand Book is a collection of writings and images that came out of a succession of collaborations -- a documentary, a performance and a film made by Sachs and Olesker -- all set within a neighborhood laundromat, a microcosm of service work within their city and ours. It has been published by Punctum Books, an independent queer and scholar-led community-formed open access publisher.
