In this conversation, members from ruangrupa and GUDSKUL: contemporary art collective and ecosystem studies expand on the concept of the lumbung, an Indonesian term for a communal rice barn which they have developed throughout many years and have manifested in various iterations in their collective practices. For them the lumbung serves as a method for creative and artistic practice. This event took place on November 4 2021 as part "Conducting Creative Research," a collaborative series between Emily Carr University of Art and Design (ECU) and OCAD University (OCAD U). The series explores themes around responsible conduct in art and design research. The Conducting Creative Research events were made possible with a SRCR Education and Training Support (SETS) Grant from the Secretariat on Responsible Conduct of Research through the Panel on Research Ethics (PRE) and the Panel on Responsible Conduct (PRCR) of Research on behalf of the three federal research granting agencies: The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).
