documenta fifteen also presents the visual identity developed together with students at the ruruHaus. The visual identity of documenta fifteen, which was jointly developed from the design draft of the student collective Studio 4oo2 from Jakarta, refers with the symbol of hands to the lumbung principle that ruangrupa has based its documenta on. The core themes are the collective practices of sharing, solidarity and friendship.
The hands and the ropes visualised in their outlines as core elements of the appearance stand for an unlimited community that opens up a sustainable future strategy. The colour palette of the design is inspired by natural textile dyes as they have been used for generations in the production of traditional textile products in Indonesia. The dyes used come largely from eastern Indonesia, where lumbung is still actively practised today.
Documenta fifteen presents the appearance in Kassel's public space. There it is visible, among other things, in the form of a large-scale mural by the Kassel graffiti and street art project KolorCubes at the ruruHaus, the first venue of documenta fifteen.
The artwork is part of the project "Public Art Gallery" by KolorCubes.
