Declaration | Article 24: Right to Rest and Leisure

Poet Jenny Lindsay, performer Harry Giles and more explore the conflict between the right to work and the right to leisure, taking in issues of precarity, anomie, alienation and anger in 21st century Britain. The last 30 years or so has seen a marked shift in the nature of work and the nature of leisure. Precarity abounds, occupational-identity is eroded, our sense of time has shifted. How does this changed labour market impact on our mental health? This event includes provocations and poetry, theatre, music and spoken word from several Scotland-based artists and activists.
