Darling, I don’t Dream of Labour

FREE - please register, Celebrate Labour Day with rest, 11am until you wake

Inspired by the creative minds like Tricia Hersey, Rest is Resistance the wise words of James Baldwin and the several ancestors who fought for our labour rights in Alberta and abroad! At Recess Calgary we value rest, play and our tapping our into our creativity. Our tagline is 'take a break'.

Rationale for an event: Recess Calgary is looking at different ways to find rest. We wanted to identify a way to honour what it could mean to take a break. To take time to reflect on our relationship to labour, to celebrate our labour, to resist labour and to reexamine how we might be creative with our labour. On Labour Day we'll reexamine our labour by celebrating the value of rest! Rest and labour are intrinsically linked.

How!? Together We'll rest! We'll be in conversation!

Topics include: Labour you enjoy, "laziness", Luddites, Degrowth, Dreamspace

What you need? Bring your pillows, blankets, whatever you need to find yourself in comfort and rest. The vibe is 'sleep over' or nap time.
