Reclaiming Rest: A Workshop on the Politics of Care and Resistance
Have we ever truly seen our mothers rest? Why does their labour so often go unnoticed? How do acts of care and resistance shape the lives of women across generations?
Join us for a workshop that holds space to explore these questions, the politics of rest, and everyday resistance. Through collaborative exercises and open dialogue, we will share experiences, reimagine dominant narratives, and reflect on the invisible labour that sustains communities. Together, we will examine the role of community and feminist solidarity in fostering connection and inspiring collective action.
The session includes a walkthrough of the Sasken digital exhibition, Mindscapes: In the company of others.
