Concept and realization: Andrea Hubin and Melinda Tamás
If you were asked what object represents a “good life” for you, what would it be? A blanket, a coffee cup, a book, a group photo, a new cover for the sofa, an ID card, …?
To what extent does the object that comes to your mind speak about the relationships within and the difficulties of your life, and about the social conditions in which they are embedded? Are there any unrealized possibilities, dreams, and wishes, possibly even utopias, to be discovered in the stories? Especially if we pursue the question together.
The workshop series LET’S BE REALISTIC! is an invitation to explore these questions during two weekends in July. Based on an intensive examination of the artefacts in the exhibition Averklub Collective. Manuš Means Human, connecting lines will be drawn to objects and stories that the workshop participants bring along .
Following a suggestion by the Soviet writer Sergei Tretyakov, we want to arrive at an analysis of socio-political relationship dynamics through the writing of “thing biographies” and, based on this, at visions of how we want to live (together).
As a result of the workshops, ”companion objects” will be created – leaflets and picture postcards that will accompany future visitors through the exhibition.
