Tequio in Mexico, auzolan in Basque Country, lumbung in Indonesia, ubuntu in South Africa, mutirao in Brazil - all terms used around the world to describe the concept of collective work. Bringing together 8 publishing houses and 7 writers, each writing in a different language, Lumbung Stories is a true product of communal action.
From speculative essays and experimental texts to intimate stories that portray collective work as something every day and habitual, each writer presents their unique take on what a "lumbung story" is. These tales take us from olive groves in Andalusia to tiger-filled forests in Indonesia; from youths fumbling through adolescence together in the Basque country, to outsiders uniting through vibrant rituals in Sao Paulo, and from explorations of intergenerational and transhistorical struggle in South Africa, to an academic text from a society rebuilding in a post-Capitalist, post-climate-crisis future.
Blurring the lines between realism and fiction, the past and the future, this unique and powerful collection brims with life and is a vital reminder of the ties that unite us all.
Harriet Brown was the name the Swedish actress Greta Garbo chose when she abandoned the world of cinema and hid away in her New York apartment in the 1940s. Harriet Brown has given name to some women's rights activists and anti-racist activists and many other initiators/pioneers of beginnings to whom we pay tribute. documenta fifteen, ruangrupa and consonni are written without capital letters, as is harriet c. brown. We use this pseudonym to refer to the collective entity formed by the diversity of bodies of consonni and the involved members of the Artistic Team of documenta fifteen. It's a being-in-common, a literary being. harriet c. brown is a lumbung body we recover now as a practice of community to manufacture the present and put it into a textual body.
