\"\"<\/p>\n

Explore the countercultural art of slowing down and nurturing your imagination. Join artist and UFV professor Aim\u00e9e Henny Brown for a virtual discussion of Jenny Odell’s book ‘How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy’.<\/p>\n

These informal discussions will consider our current experience of being “isolated in-place” and will challenge and explore ideas of productivity, objects, and labour.<\/p>\n

We encourage you to read the chapters in advance of the meeting dates. Participants are responsible for sourcing a copy of the book in advance of the discussion.<\/p>\n

To participate, you must have an email address, a computer or phone, and an Internet connection.<\/p>\n
