The Assembly question is inspired by the work “Haunted Bookshelves for Catalogue No.3” by Display Distribute, Kunci and Read-in at Seoul Mediacity Biennale 2018, which was inspired by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing who in turn was inspired by Ursula K. Le Guin with regards to storytelling.

The Assembly title is from the book The Undercommons: Fugitive Planning & Black Study (2013) by Fred Moten and Stefano Harney, as well as its many echoes in social movements.

Image description: the question of this year's Assembly ''When there is never enough time and survival is uncertain, how do collective art practices continue their ways of being together and shape art institutions working for the commons?'' is encapsulated by a broken circle and small circles.
