"Many from the Global South intimately know how important it is to build and maintain institutions. Working with various governmental actors, representatives of the private sector, foreign funding bodies, and diverse community actors is difficult but extends a much-needed lifeline to Global South initiatives. When so much is at stake in what is both a crisis of the institution and of the hitherto hegemonic Global North, could the South champion decolonization by putting its know-how into a spirited defense of institutions? Could this be done, if only to acknowledge that it is possible to build something—something institutional—together despite considerable geopolitical and ideological differences? How could this be done with defiance, in order to rise above being cast as the permanently victimized junior partner?" WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TO READ (DAI COOP tutor) Mi You's thoughtprovoking essay "What Politics? What Aesthetics?: Reflections on documenta fifteen" for e-flux journal. " Whether this documenta should be defended is not the question. The question is how it can be defended in a way that also allows for a constructive critique of the exhibition."

"Quoting Toni Morrison, (Farid, member of ruangrupa) Rakun contended that the function of racism is to ‘keep you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining why you are the way you are’. Needless to say no amount of explaining, or apologising will do." ~ Do not miss out on DAI theory tutor Ana Teixeira Pinto's decisive text about the attacks on documenta fifteen, under the title THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS ! as published in the Journal of Visual Culture. Mic drop at the end. Kudos for Ana ! (find the link here)

We LOVE ruangrupa and the important, decolonial work they have energetically, sharply, playfully, resourcefully and most of all generously shared for so many years with so many others, including the extended, non-nuclear DAI family (when, in 2015 and 2016, we were cheerfully collaborating in Jakarta, Arnhem and beyond). Over the summer of 2022 we have felt uplifted and inspired by documenta 15 in Kassel: the perfect antidote to art-worldly greed and exceptionalism. We have been moved by the ways in which the beautiful Lumbung Community has been resilient in the face of countless attacks (without giving up on openness, inclusivity, exchange, learning and un-learning). But the limit has now been reached: together with our friends we are sad, angry and tired. We urge you to UNDERSIGN the letter to Christian Geselle, Angela Dorn, Susanne Völker, Claudia Roth, the Supervisory Board and the Shareholders of documenta. We vigorously support its content as we stand in solidarity. Please read & sign the letter here.
