The MADEYOULOOK duo bring a host of events and programmes from the documenta15 in Kassel to Johannesburg. Hosted at LAPA in Brixton, the pan-african artist space and residency, the programme discusses issues of land, ownership, cosmology, memory, collectivity and collaboration.
As MADEYOULOOK explains:
“In recent years questions of land have emerged as a matter of urgent public discourse in many parts of the majority world, not least of all in South Africa. Issues of property ownership, politics of food production, various ecological concerns and the need to reimagine what it means to be in relationship with the land have all come to the fore. Land has also come to represent a significant political, social and artistic consideration among the practitioners and collectives involved in documenta fifteen. lumbung.jozi brings some of these socially engaged practices from around the world into exchange with a range of artists, land workers, activists and academics to engage myriad themes on the subject of land in the South African context.”
lumbung.jozi will share a series of discursive events across multiple sites and venues in the city from 1-13 November. Goethe-Institut Johannesburg’s LAPA in Brixton will operate as the main gathering and working space of the lumbung.jozi contributors throughout this period, with a select number of discussions and gatherings set to be hosted around the city at various venues. In addition, the lumbung Land Working Group will meet across the week to determine the continuation of projects and programmes around land.
As MADEYOULOOK explains, “The lumbung Land Working Group was established due to evident and emerging connections that emerged during documenta fifteen, and includes various artists and collectives from the lumbung who engage with subjects of land, ownership, territory, nature, more-than-human relations, climate, politics of extraction and of food production.”
Artists and contributors to lumbung.jozi include Marwa Arsanios (Lebanon), Nadir Bouhmouch of AWAL/Le18 (Morocco), Keleketla! Library (South Africa), INLAND (Spain), SWOP (South Africa), Jatiwangi Art Factory (Indonesia), QANAT/Le18 (Morocco) and MADEYOULOOK (South Africa), among others.
