πŸ—£οΈ Roles and Scripts: On Identity and Gender

Many of us grew up with unspoken scripts about who we should be, how to take up space, express emotions, love others, or define our worth. Some were taught to be silent providers, others to be selfless nurturers. But when these expectations begin to constrain rather than guide, what does it mean to reclaim our own narratives?

Roles and Scripts: On Identity and Gender is a gathering that explores how gender norms and social expectations shape identity, relationships, and everyday experiences. Through conversation and reflection, the session invites participants to question inherited roles and imagine more authentic ways of being rooted in who we are, rather than who we were told to become. πŸ’¬

This programme is part of a wider series of gatherings held alongside the launch of the second volume of @thewhitebooksg πŸ“š

Ever found yourself questioning the purpose of your work, feeling burnt out by hustle culture, or wondering if there’s a different way to think about success? πŸ€”

Many of us work within economic systems we don’t fully believe in, navigating tensions between earning a living and living according to our values. This gathering creates a space to explore those tensions through an unexpected medium: memes.

Using humour, internet culture, and collective reflection as conversation starters, participants will unpack questions around work, ethics, meaning, burnout, and what careers might look like in a world that prioritises well-being, community, and sustainability over endless growth 🌱
