Let’s Talk: Resisting Grind Culture

How can animation become a space where we are able to envision new forms of working, designing and living together? In this panel discussion, we explore animation not only as an artistic medium, but also as a tool of resistance – against the capitalist hustle culture, patriarchal structures and burnout. With guests from the industry, we will discuss what it means to challenge the hustle or grind culture in the creative industry – a ‘culture’ that considers pressure to perform and non-stop work as prerequisites for personal success. Can we use animation to design a future that prioritises sustainability over productivity and is propelled by solidarity, deceleration and radical imagination?
