Background
A Social Design Strategy for Fatigued Cultural Subjects via the Museum as a Trusted Civic Medium
Yearning for a Piece of Turf
In hyper-capitalist environments, rest is often treated as laziness. With that perspective in mind, this project addresses urban burnout among exhausted city professionals and explores how art museums can serve as trusted public spaces for recovery. The outcome is a toolkit that supports the right to rest. Through a slow, non-goal-oriented weaving activity on artificial grass, it creates a pressure-free setting. This allows people to share quiet presence while safely stepping away from performance metrics.
