Work-Leisure is a national survey of objects made during leisure time by industrial workers across the UK, led by Bahbak Hashemi-Nezhad and co-curated with Matthew Harle.
Over several months, Bahbak and Matthew visited hundreds of businesses, documenting items made with using workplace skills and materials. The archive showcases a diverse range of personal, playful, and practical objects— from furniture welded by steelworkers to whimsical pieces cast by plasterers— highlighting alternative uses of materials and techniques within industrial contexts
The exhibition, featuring photographs and objects, will also launch a publication documenting the Sheffield phase of the project.
