MAJÁLIS – introducing lumbung-members #1

Event

12.05 - 31.05

online event

Angol nyelven / in English

“Majális” is the traditional celebration of spring in Hungary; throughout the month of May

there are many customs related to this period, one of which is raising the co-called májusfa

(May tree): a symbol of rebirth and new beginnings. “Majális” also refers to “Majelis”, the

common decision making platform of the lumbung inter-lokal as part of documenta fifteen.

With the series of “majális” discussions, OFF-Biennale invites members of the lumbung inter-

lokal to present their work and to decorate our common “május-fa” with shared ideas on

community, education, political agency, ecologies, urban practices, and the celebration of

music, dance, and bodies.
