Let’s be honest: We all need rest’ unites a group of artists from different disciplines to showcase their vision on one of the major issues of our time; How do we find peace?
In today’s Zeitgeist, where grind culture is the norm and in which we are used to going on and on.. and on, it’s all the more important to stand still and to prioritise yourself. Without peace and mental well-being, we as humans, and therefore the artist that lies in all of us, cannot move forward.
Utilising craftsmanship, creativity and devotion to the cause of rest, 6 national and international artists showcase their honest answers on imperfection. As they introduce their visions and unexpected expressions on equality. Aiming to explore what rest means to them.
‘Let’s Be Honest: We All Need Rest’ examines the established capitalist system and a culture of productiveness. In this exhibition, OSCAM bravely refutes these ideas and offers room for different perspectives on the concept of rest. Providing personal tools and insights on finding peace in the middle of all this noise.
By means of a retreat space, art and cleverly curated Speak Sessions, Lee Stuart and OSCAM collectively encourage reflection through an exhibition stacked with accessible tools. In order to achieve an understanding of different ways to reach a state of mind that oozes pause and rest
The Rest Sessions are part of the context programme Lee Stuart: ‘Let’s be honest: We all need rest’. It aimed to provide people with the opportunity and experience to unwind through free group therapy sessions, meditation and yoga sessions. In collaboration with Emotus Care, De Oplossing Hulpverlening, Uprising Yoga and Lifestyle and Yoga for Black Babes we bring valuable tools to create a space for individuals to find tranquillity and rejuvenation in the midst of life’s demands. +
All sessions were led by individuals that are a reflection of the OSCAM community.
