In her latest book, Odell shook up the conversation about time, delving deep into the intricate connection between time and power. She revealed how a clock designed for profit was linked to ongoing social inequalities, the climate crisis, and our growing sense of existential dread.

Hosted by Fiona Wright, one of the most exciting voices in contemporary culture, the event featured a conversation with Odell, where she shared her subversive and inspiring vision for how we could save time – and how time might save us.


This event was supported by the Melbourne City Revitalisation Fund, a Victorian Government and City of Melbourne partnership.
