Showing (work x family) is a 28-foot, 6-screen photography exhibition with an original soundscape. It reveals the intimate choreography of everyday life and explores the push and pull of work and family – a universal balancing act with no fixed equation.

The photographs offer a meticulous examination of everyday life, refined and raw expressions of mealtimes and bedtimes, commutes and carpools, calendars and keys, school-day mornings and weekend chores, childcare and grandparent shifts, single-parent households and blended families.

This traveling exhibition was created by Jane Gottesman, Founding Director of Working Assumptions, based in Berkley, California. 

The Center for Bioethics and Humanities also sponsored a juried exhibition, Showing Our Community, featuring photographs taken by our neighbors from the Aurora and Denver communities and across Colorado, that portray the overlap of work and family – what that means and what that looks like in the lives of our kids, coworkers, elders, partners, and society. On display through April 12th in the Fulginiti Pavilion Foyer.
