We also held a lumbung majelis with friends from lumbung one who attended. This was the first time that friends from the documenta fifteen lumbung process (lumbung one) met with SIXPACK (a collective of collectives from five different cities in Indonesia who joined the Gudskul Collective Study Programme 2025–2026) and the lumbung Indonesia network, and shared the same majelis during the three-day gathering held in parallel with the anniversary.
In collaboration with Afterall, a research and publishing organisation based at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, focusing on contemporary art and its wider social, political and theoretical contexts, the following publication was produced:
While this publication was developed in collaboration with Marjin Kiri, a very cool independent publisher. Together we selected ten writings—originally written either in English or in Bahasa Indonesia—that we felt were important to bring into wider visibility. All of them are presented in this book in Bahasa Indonesia.
