'The Great Resignation' Exhibition
18 September 2026 – 7 November 2026 · 09:00
Centre Cultural La Casa Elizalde, la Dreta de l'Eixample, Eixample
Mariona Berenguer, Júlia Nueno, Marta Azparren and Lumbung Press. Curated by Antonella Medici. The term Great Resignation refers to the mass resignation of workers that occurred after the COVID-19 pandemic. Millions of people decided to leave poorly paid jobs and work that lacked recognition or meaning, in a collective gesture of disengagement. Through installations, audiovisual works, drawing and graphic work, the project reflects on the limits of work and the need to interrupt the productive rhythm. At the same time, it offers a reading of systems of labour exploitation throughout history, which still persist and have in fact mutated into new forms of control and self-demand. This exhibition invites us to reclaim time, care and practices that escape the algorithm.
