Lumbung in Western Sydney

Lumbung in Western Sydney will host some of our collaborators from documenta fifteen to Dharug Country for the first time to connect and share with local friends. Meaning ‘rice barn’ in Bahasa Indonesia, lumbung references a traditional method of communal rice storage and sharing. Practiced by the participants of documenta fifteen, lumbung is a framework for sharing resources, sustainability and community support.

We acknowledge that this is a difficult time for many in our communities. We invite you to cook, eat, hang out and sing with us, to ground ourselves in the importance of coming together.

COLLECTIVES

Lumbung in Western Sydney will involve the following collectives: Gudskul (Indonesia), Floating Projects (Hong Kong), Kolektif Hysteria (Semarang, Indonesia), Lifepatch (Yogyakarta, Indonesia), Sudut Kalisat (Kalisat, Indonesia), Tindakan Gerak Asuh/TIGA (Malaysia) and Tonjo Foundation (Yogyakarta, Indonesia).

This program is an extension of ATS and Pari’s participation in Sekolah Temujalar, Gudskul’s artistic contribution to documenta fifteen last year.

GUDKITCHEN

Gudkitchen “Western Sydney edition” is an open kitchen run collectively in the courtyard of Pari. Created by Gudskul and experiencing many variations over the years and around the world. The mobile kitchen carts are built by Kit Wu-Bylett with assistance from Casey Ayres, inspired by street vendor style in Jakarta, where Gudskul is located. Gudkitchen is proudly supported by Utp.
