<h2>Orgnanisational Diagrams for Everyday Life</h2>Thursday 23 May, 6 - 8 pmHybrid event: at Bloc Projects gallery + livestreamed (link TBC - we will update by email)Free &amp; open to allPriority will be given to disabled people and those with health histories Mass culture prioritises efficient use of time. Terms like ‘the daily routine’, ‘hustle culture’ and ‘time-poor’ are part of the parlance of most English speakers, excluding those who don’t fit into this narrow understanding of work ethic. Often built around ableist ideals, efficiency can damage relationships and lead to burnout, above all in disabled people.Through gentle conversation and a playful use of flowcharts and diagramming, artist Helen Stratford invites participants to explore the ways in which their experiences (do not) fit within these normative standards of time and productivity. How do you decide what to do in a day? In what ways do time, energy levels, fatigue and rest play a part? The resulting diagrams will shed a playful and critical light into the ways disability collides with day-to-day decision-making. They will also be included in an ongoing ‘Anti-Productivity Compendium of Complaints’ which will be on view during the exhibition.The workshop is open to everyone. Priority will be given to disabled people and those with health histories.

Through performative workshops, site-specific interventions, video, speculative writing, and discursive platforms, they propose ways of challenging spatial prejudices produced at the intersections of social, cultural, economic and political relations. Her work has been developed, presented, performed, and exhibited at international residencies and platforms, including Oslo Architecture Triennale, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, g39 Wysing Arts Centre and RIBA. Helen is also Senior Lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University.
