We’re thrilled to announce the arrival of lumbung Kios in the Casco office gallery!
Join us to explore a variety of unique merchandise and publications, mingle with our team, and show your support for the lumbung ecosystem.
lumbung Kios is a network of decentralized and self-run Kiosks aimed at selling products at various locations. Its mission is to establish a sustainable model for generating income through the sale of goods produced by lumbung members, artists, and their local ecosystems. Inspired by the Feral Trade model pioneered by artist Kate Rich, it explores a slow-trade mechanism that encourages collective practice, decentralizes distribution, and delves into alternative economies. Through direct exchange, lumbung Kios facilitates resource-sharing and encourages social interaction across its mobility network, providing physical and online opportunities for engagement and critique.
On 15 March 2024, the installment of lumbung Kios took place at Casco in the context of the lumbung mini-majelis sessions co-hosted at our space. A term for a gathering or meeting, the majelis is an important tool of the lumbung network for exchanging ideas and projects. One week earlier, another majelis took place at Het Nieuwe Instituut, where some of the lumbung.space and lumbung Kios members currently are fellows.
We invite you to visit our space, engage with the lumbung ecosystem members through their practices, and contribute to collectivity-based sustainable alternative economies. As we are collectively experimenting with what it means for lumbung Kios to nest at Casco and beyond, we are also working to facilitate future moments of exchange such as solidarity gatherings and radio shows–more to be continued.
