Lumbung in Western Sydney hosted some of the collaborators from documenta fifteen to Dharug Country for a series of nongkrongs (hangouts), cookups, workshops, sharings, gatherings and events 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.
The program was an extension of Arab Theatre Studio and Pari’s participation in Sekolah Temujalar, Gudskul’s artistic contribution to documenta fifteen in 2022.
