A partnership between Sandberg Instituut, de Appel (Curatorial Programme), Gudskul (Collective Study Program), and tutors from the lumbung ecosystem.

We want to amplify the open call for the new temporary Sandberg MA program Lumbung Practice. It is developed and hosted by Lara Khaldi and Gertrude Flentge (both members of artistic team documenta 15), in close collaboration with Gudskul and lumbung artists and collectives. Most tutors will come from the lumbung ecosystem, including Casco Art Institute: Working for the Commons.

The master program will build on the gained knowledge and experimentations in lumbung-documenta 15. Participating collectives will practice and learn about the concept and practice of lumbung, self-organization, and sociopolitical artistic and curatorial practices, as well as producing alternative art institutions and economies for the future. Together, they will experiment with a commons-based arts discourse and economy, connecting and adding to the cosmology of lumbungs and existing working groups (interlocal, Indonesia, Kassel, and others).

It is open to artistic, curatorial, and interdisciplinary collectives and can be applied to with a minimum of two members. The deadline for applications is 1 April 2024.
