It Is As If We Were Doing Work [10th of March]
A few months have passed since the 11th issue of the Pervasive Labour Union zine was launched. Focused on the "entreprecariat", the issue is an exploration of the multiple ways in which entrepreneurial ideas, models and approaches relate to the perception of precarity. To expand on the reflections that emerged from this informal publication, Varia is hosting some of its contributors. After an introduction of the Pervasive Labour Union zine project, there will be a conversation between Alina Lupu, Gui Machiavelli and Lídia Pereira moderated by Silvio Lorusso. The guests will discuss their contribution to the zine, as well as the relationship between their practice, current work, and education. Furthermore, there will be an open gaming session of two (or maybe more!) videogames reviewed in the zine, such as "It Is As If You Were Doing Work" by Pippin Barr and "The Founder" by Francis Tseng.
Food, drinks and entrance are available on donation.
