| Synopsis | “Minga” in many South American countries, “tequio” in Mexico, auzolan in Euskal Herria, andecha in Asturias, mutirão in Brazil, Ubuntu in various African countries, gadugi in Cherokee communities, talkoot in Finland, guanxi in China, fa’zaa in Arabic or lumbung in the Philippines; as diverse as human societies are the ways of naming collective work, that which is done with an eye to the common good and not to individual accumulation or competition. Within the framework of documenta 15, a five-year exhibition of international contemporary art, eight publishing houses from around the world have cooperated to offer this volume that brings together voices from different latitudes that, through writing, explore the experiences of being-in-common in their respective contexts. These pages narrate the individual sacrifice that militancy demands; the nostalgia for a way of life interrupted by war; the whirlwind of temporalities that the collective memory of slavery can produce when invoked by textuality; but, above all, the festive spirit that the gathering of bodies, rhythms and energies with a view to a common benefit produces. This is a collective book, as is any vital experience worth living. |
