Nuraini Juliastuti: Commons people, lumbung as a traveling concept In the times of uncertainties, the growing currency and relevance of sharing and commoning-based cultural projects represents a recognition of lumbung as a certain mannerism of doing art—but extraction feels lurking behind it.
Melani Budianta: Negotiating the Transnational lumbung The pandora box that the documenta fifteen lumbung project opens up reveals the problem of transnational translation in addressing burdens of local traumatic histories, and the continuing violence of global structures.

With INLAND and Wajukuu Art Project Hosted by Molemo Moiloa Livestream on documenta fifteen’s YouTube channel
lumbung konteks is a seven-part series of online conversations taking place on the first Sunday of every month until June 2022. Each session invites two documenta fifteen lumbung members to introduce their practices and wider ecosystems and to expand and reflect on each other’s work. Through sharing stories, songs, and tools for living and working in community, lumbung members discuss the differences and affinities between their specific contexts. lumbung konteks addresses the importance of the localities within which we all work, the conditions that inform and ground our practices, and the ways we can learn from each other’s models of education, ecology, and economy.
In the second exchange of the series, lumbung members INLAND and Wajukuu Art Project, in conversation with Molemo Moiloa, discuss their approach to art practice as intrinsically linked to intergenerational knowledge and ways of living with the land. Thinking against violent legacies of the urban-rural divide, INLAND and Wajukuu Art Project share stories of how this divide produces alienation and precarity among young generations. They ask what kinds of self-determinacy, spirituality, and community a reclamation of the rural might offer across their different contexts, material realities, and everyday lives.

lumbung calling: Regeneration Saturday, October 2, 2021 2.30 pm (CET), 3.30 pm (IDT), 6.30 pm (KGT), 7.30 pm (WIB) In English with translation into International Sign
Guests:
Arafat Sadallah, philosopher
Gulnara Kasmalieva and Muratbek Djumaliev, artists
Hosts: Jumana Emil Abboud, artist Mirwan Andan, Member of the Artistic Direction of documenta fifteen
The seven-part conversation series lumbung calling launches documenta fifteen’s Public Program, activated under the title Meydan. Each edition of the series is dedicated to one of the lumbung values: Local Anchor, Humor, Generosity, Independence, Transparency, Sufficiency, and Regeneration. The format dives deeper into the background of the artistic concept for documenta fifteen and illuminates the idea of lumbung from many different angles. Through conversations with a variety of guests, lumbung calling explores the rich meaning of lumbung across multiple disciplines, points of view, and contexts within an artistic framing. lumbung calling will take place on the first Saturday of every month, from April to October 2021.
The seventh edition of lumbung calling focuses on Regeneration. Within the framework of documenta fifteen, regeneration is explored as a way of living and organizing oneself and communities in opposition to extractive practices. This approach also includes generating time and space for mutual support and reflection. It centers care—often made invisible—as a vital part of political activism, enabling the incorporation of many viewpoints within a larger ecosystem.
This edition of lumbung calling imagines regeneration as an act of making kin with our predecessors and future generations. It also examines regeneration as a means of valuing material resources as something to be shared and reused rather than accumulated. Moroccan philosopher Arafat Sadallah looks at the conditions and legacies of revolutions, as well as intergenerational ties in his work with Siwa plateforme in Redeyef, Tunisia. Artists Gulnara Kasmalieva and Muratbek Djumaliev address the afterlives of perestroika in the context of Kyrgyzstan and how young generations continue narratives of resistance and history-making while forming new ones.

The fifth lumbung calling focuses on the lumbung value of Transparency. For a community to live together with common values, transparency must be embedded in ways of thinking and behaving. The concept of lumbung is related to collective life, and thus transparency becomes a pivotal element. In lumbung, the notion of transparency is closely linked to trust, which is necessary for holding individuals together in groups. These two values, transparency and trust, remain significant across time and cultures. How do they manifest on a daily basis in different territories and times with their distinct forms? How have they evolved or diminished? How is transparency related to power sharing within a community? This lumbung calling demonstrates how various levels of transparency have a role in determining lumbung values and establishing healthy ecosystems.

The sixth lumbung calling focuses on the lumbung value of Sufficiency. Human ambition has led to discoveries in all fields, and has even brought mankind to other planets. The value of sufficiency, on the other hand, seems incredibly outdated today, as thrift and frugality are considered conditions of deprivation. The Pillars of Hercules have been passed long ago, despite the warning “Ne plus ultra” (“nothing further beyond”), which urged sailors and navigators to go no further.
This lumbung calling explores the limits of sufficiency: When do we say enough is enough? How can these limits be pushed? Who or what defines them? Paula Fleisner, Professor of Aesthetics at the Universidad de Buenos Aires, addresses the notion of sufficiency within an enlarged interspecies ecosystem, while artist Christopher Cozier discusses the relations between sufficiency and self-determination, and how “gayap” and other Caribbean traditions of collective labor suggest ways to rethink notions of scarcity and plenty.
