We begin with a conversion titled “Exhaustion”. This is an edited recording from a live event hosted by Naadira Patel in the context of a public program Power Talks that happened in Brixton, Johannesburg in September 2022. The project was convened by the Goethe Institut Joburg and The African Centre for Cities.

On the panel, you hear from Dee Marco, Tammy Langtry and Tiffany Ebrahim. They speak about the productivity and potential of exhaustion, precarious labour, mothering, diagnosis fatigue, and the bizarre concept (especially when you work for yourself) of buying back your time.

Dee is a writer and media studies lecturer at Wits University. Tammy is an independent curator and the coordinator of Lapa, Brixton. Tiffany is a legal scholar.
