Survivalkits voor kunstenaarsgemeenschappen | Yin Aiwen
The project Survivalkits voor kunstenaarsgemeenschappen (Survival kits for artist communities) is a collaboration between Yin Aiwen and several cultural institutions, including Framer Framed, Documenta and AFIELD. The initiative is intended to formulate a strategic response to the challenges of the current economic system, which is based on ‘centralized and unequal principles’, according to the initiator. The aim of the project is to equip activist communities with resources to organize themselves independently and build an alternative ecosystem. The intended survival kits serve as a comprehensive manual with guidelines for navigating the complicated landscape of ‘living within a community’. By connecting different stakeholders, including artists, activists, policymakers and academics, Yin Aiwen aims to contribute to a more cohesive and inclusive society.
