Does it ever feel like you have no free time? After Work is an exploration of what it means to rethink our labour, living arrangements and the expectations of our cities in a radical reclamation of leisure. Rallying against the vacuum of free time being taken up by vacuuming, authors and academics Helen Hester and Nick Srnicek will be in conversation with writer Eleanor Penny to sketch out a path towards real free time for all.
