What's on offer?

Feeling stressed? Burnt out? Dreaming of life beyond work?


Join us for a unique zine workshop and exhibition designed to help you reflect on your relationship with work, well-being, and creativity.

Step into a world of thought-provoking zines created by researchers, exploring themes like overcoming burnout, navigating stress, and finding joy and identity both in and outside of work.

After immersing yourself in the exhibition, unleash your own creativity in our interactive zine workshop. Here, you’ll have the chance to design your own zine, exploring your personal experiences and imagining what 'life after work' means to you.

This event is open to everyone 16+ and is all about fostering deep self-expression and connection. Let’s come together to reshape the narrative of work and life through art!
