Lazy
Lazy takes a playful look at the social construction of laziness and aims at rejecting the production = worth culture.
Over the last few years it has become apparent that the way we were expected to approach work and labour wasn't healthy. For ourselves or a society.
In the UK we have one of the longest working weeks of around 40 hours (second only to Greece), yet our productivity doesn't match this. Why? Because longer hours doesn't mean more productivity. It does mean, however, increased physical and mental health risks. 'Side hustle' culture was increasingly normalised and we were expected to use a global pandemic 'productively'.
At Lazy we celebrate the idle and rebel in the slothful. We find new ways of doing less, slowing down and taking back something for ourselves.
Lazy draws from evidence based research, lived experiences of its contributors and artistic work.
