Published on the occasion of the 15th Documenta in Kassel, held 18 June to 25 September, 2022. Short stories. "Ruangrupa is the Artistic Direction of the fifteenth edition of documenta. The Jakarta-based artists' collective has built the foundation of their documenta fifteen on the core values and ideas of lumbung (Indonesian term for a communal rice barn). Lumbung as an artistic and economic model is rooted in principles such as collectivity, communal resource sharing, and equal allocation, and is embodied in all parts of the collaboration and the exhibition."--Documenta Fifteen website. Includes bibliographical references.
Summary:
Whether "tequio" in Mexico, "ubuntu" in South Africa, or "mutirão" in Brazil; there are many names for the common good around the world: Within the context of documenta fifteen and its core idea of collectivity, seven novelists - Azhari Aiyub, Cristina Judar, Nesrine Khoury, Mithu Sanyal, Panashe Chigumadzi, Uxue Alberdi, and Yásnaya Elena Aguilar Gil - from different parts of the world will contribute new narratives on collective work and communal forms. Seven international publishers have also joined forces to provide this global perspective on the exhibition theme in various language editions.
