Mahmoud (We Sell Reality) Celebrating starting of educational year! Introduction: Process, Structure, Tensions Last year, we experimented with the working structure of Working groups. We formed six working groups with different projects and focus points, including Lumbung Club, Pedagogy (cocos), Printing and Publishing, Land, Archive/ Documentary, and Economy (DAME DAME)During the three-day-long Majalis of reflection and check-out of Harvest Festival, we realized that the second year educational program would have three intense two-week programs in-person, and Majalis and self-organized times during the year.

Practicing the Lumbung: An Overview of documenta 15 in Pictures, by Alejandra Villasmil 。。。English translation below 。。。 La historia está plagada de capítulos sombríos donde los intereses geopolíticos y económicos terminan por incidir en la libre expresión cultural.

drawing by Indra Ameng Soft launch of the lumbung network’s online platform lumbung.space is a social and publishing platform by and for the lumbung members and artists of documenta fifteen.

The website will continuously evolve but is based on slow-growing with new tools added over time.

Different cultures have different concepts and definitions of art. documenta fifteen processes are no exception, where the definition of art becomes another space for conversation. The involvement of lumbung inter-lokal from various cities in the world has come with different concepts. When this is brought together in the context of documenta fifteen taking place in Europe, a new dynamic takes place. At least two main features are visible. The first is the tendency of how art tends to be associated with objects resulting from the achievements of individual genius.
