Title: Rest to Protest
Venue and Format: Online digital experience
Innovation: This is an online collection of art and stories. Each new day will bring a new experience of rest. Stories will be “awake” during certain hours of the day, giving you an opportunity to absorb them in your own time. The stories will go to sleep for periods of time to encourage personal rest and reflection.
Who do you rest for? Who is being allowed to rest? When did you last feel rested?
Rest to Protest looks to sleep as a political act of resistance for ourselves, and the people that we love.
“We are the children that have been gifted rest from those without it. These are our stories.”
