In “March for the Right to Leisure and Tenderness”, Ad Minoliti explores the collective experience beyond the confines of labor, using printed matter as a vehicle. Blending illustration, design, and storytelling, the exhibition spans zines, artist multiples, and a new series of limited-edition prints.
The exhibition title references the societal devaluation of stillness and leisure, framing rest as a fundamental right. Drawing from anarchist Bob Black’s 1980 manifesto “The Abolition of Work,” Minoliti engages the radical proposition that work, as a social institution, should be dismantled and replaced with play. Throughout the installation, the artist continues to challenge dominant narratives around productivity, proposing a visual language that celebrates softness, abstraction, and joy.
