[Kitchen Broadcast] How to share the practice of Lumbung

For this episode of Kitchen Broadcast we sat together with Iswanto Hartono from Ruangrupa, Reinaart Vanhoe from Ook_collectif, Noemie from El Warcha, Mohanad Yakubi and Reem Shilleh from Subversive film and the Kitchen, Noor Abed artist and curatorial assistent for documenta fifteen and Joachim Ben Yakoub from the Kitchen. Together we took the time to reflect on the question ‘How to share the practice of Lumbung?’.

For documenta fifteen ruangrupa introduced lumbung as a practice, not only during but also leading up to and beyond the 100 days of the exhibition. After they were invited to be the artistic direction of documenta fifteen, the collective, in turn, invited documenta to be part of its ekosistem. The practice of lumbung enables an alternative economy of collectivity, shared resource building, and equitable distribution. It is anchored in the local and based on values such as humour, generosity, independence, transparency, sufficiency, and regeneration.
