Assembling Grounds. Practices of Coexistence
How can we confront the many crises of our times as a society? And what active role can art play in this? How must we change our society on a systemic level so that the Earth remains habitable in the long term? How can we break with traditional notions of art in order to strengthen its social impact and forge new alliances between art, science, and society?
The exhibition 禄Fellow Travellers: Art as a Tool to Change the World芦 acts as a catalyst for these questions: As a place for possibilities, it offers a platform for artistic projects that demonstrate the benefits of art for society in an exemplary way. Divided into various chapters, 禄Fellow Travellers芦 unites projects of this kind in order to bring them into a dialog and facilitate exchanges.
In July 2025, 禄Fellow Travellers芦 will open the new exhibition chapter 禄Assembling Grounds: Practices of Coexistence芦. The chapter was developed in India and Sri Lanka on the basis of the ZKM traveling exhibition 禄Critical Zones. In Search of a Common Ground芦 (2022鈥24). On its journey, this exhibition brought together diverse locations, local communities, and ideas from different contexts. Artists who participated in the exhibition project through local networks have now been invited to respond to 禄Fellow Travelers芦 questions as part of 禄Assembling Grounds芦.
