Burnout is a B***h w/ Relative Opacity
May 6th
1-4 pm
We all know burnout is a bitch. The goal of this workshop
is to facilitate a collaborative conversation
about burnout in the creative world.
In this workshop we will be discussing Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto.
This workshop is facilitated by Relative Opacity.
Relative Opacity is a digital safe haven for women and non-binary designers of color who are in need of a design community.
Burnout is a bitch. And when it feels like you are mentally exhausted to work on anything creative, it feels icky. Trust us, we get it !! Running a collective, we experience burnout almost every month if not more. We want to be the best versions of ourselves we can be for our supporters but sometimes that takes a toll on us.
Trying to create and produce work while feeling emotionally and physically drained is really not it. SO let us come together and talk about it while creating something fun (and learn to riso in the process!)
The goal of this workshop is to facilitate a collaborative conversation about burnout in the creative world. What can we do that reminds us of the importance of resting while we actively work? Is our structural environment taking away our option to relax and rest?
In the process of this we will be making a collaborative 2 colors poster or set of posters to take home using the risograph.
All materials are included.
