Takeover – Doing Nothing

Sarmad X Limestone Books
For the last event of the takeover, Sarmad invites the public to join them at Limestone to collectively do nothing for an hour.
Leaving everything behind to do nothing is an act of rebelling against all social responsibility and against a production-driven and entertainment-seeking mind.
Doing nothing emphasizes stillness in contrast to our constant hustling, planning, aiming, developing, speaking, doing, and gaining. At the same time, doing nothing is nothing special. You might say it’s aimless, you might say its aim is to remove aims. Whatever you say about it, you will be engaging with it through the intellect, which is not what we want to do. Just join us to do nothing and we all experience it together, through our bodies and our minds. Feel free to walk in before 13: 55.
How:
-Leave all your belongings (possibly inside Limestone), water will be provided.
-Choose a comfortable corner to stay still, and just feel the time pass.
-Try not to have interactions with other people.
-Be awake, don’t sleep!
