MAJÁLIS – introducing lumbung-members #1
“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.
