Neoliberal values prioritize constant work and efficiency over leisure; as such, rest becomes an unequally distributed luxury, a privilege dictated by socioeconomic class.
The exhibition 'Libraries of Rest' highlights that rest is highly politicized, focusing on how most people are 'too busy and exhausted to imagine a better future'.
Artist Ciara Barker's interactive installation demonstrates that while rest is an urgent topic, it has yet to become a basic right for all.
The growing recognition of rest as a form of resistance signals a cultural shift against the glamorization of overwork seen in the 'girl boss' mentality.
