Agenda-Mania

Burnout is not just exhaustion, it’s a response to a system that demands constant availability, productivity, and optimization. It is not an individual failure but a structural condition, shaping how we organize time, measure worth, and internalize the pressure to always do more. Agenda-Mania is not about escaping these pressures but confronting them. It asks: What does it mean to live in service of the calendar? What alternatives can we imagine?

Through art, performance and collective experience, this exhibition opens a space for resistance. A space to walk, rest, reflect, and experiment with new rhythms of being together. A space to unlearn urgency and disrupt exhaustion.

Agenda-Mania is a living experiment, a rupture, moments of recalibration. Join us. Let’s unlearn urgency and reimagine time together.
