After Work Conversations is a two-part symposium about issues of emancipation and political organization in the context of work within digital capitalism.
Artists, workers, activists, and academics are invited to a joint exploration of how digital technology shapes (future and current) conditions of work, as well as possibilities for class solidarity.
Taking place within the framework of the international doctorate programme for artists and designers PhDArts (ACPA, Leiden University and KABK, The Hague) and the Binational Artistic-PhD program (HfK Bremen), the symposium asks if artistic research can contribute tools and concepts that bring together not only practitioners from the arts (culture) and academia, but also a politically engaged and wider public.
The first session, #1 Play hard, work harder in The Hague, centered on whether video games as an artistic medium have the potential to challenge unfair working practices, mobilize workers and cultivate solidarity. The second session, #2 Post-Work-Imaginaries in Bremen, focuses on how a post-work future can be imagined from the various perspectives of the participating guests.
