About

The nonprofit artists’ initiative Baan Noorg Collaborative Arts and Culture, from the province of Ratchaburi in Thailand, presents a three-part project that includes an installation and livestream dedicated to the dairy industry in Germany and Thailand, a shadow-puppet theater, and a skateboard ramp made available to Kassel’s skater scene. The community-based Wajukuu Art Project from the Mukuru slum in Nairobi, Kenya, shows works by its members and a documentary film. The Instituto de Artivismo Hannah Arendt (INSTAR) from Havana, Cuba, is organizing a series of ten exhibitions with artists from Cuba that produce counter-narratives of Cuban art and history. Britto Arts Trust is a collective from Dhaka, Bangladesh, that focuses on nutritional policies and communities suffering the effects of industrialization. They take on issues related to environmental changes as well as to foods that, only a few years ago, were typical of certain regions of their homeland but are now at risk of disappearing. The lumbung Press is also located at documenta Halle: a print workshop where artists and collectives can print and bind their publications.
