Pandora’s Box

Edited by Susanne M. Winterling and Antonia Lotz

The book Pandora’s Box explores the form of conversation as a method of aesthetic solidarity and empowerment. As an online platform, it collects and archives talks, stories, discourses and struggles to re-value and constantly reboot practices of solidarity.

The Pandora project is a collective artifact which started a long time ago and manifested in 2016, when a group of artists, poets and cultural producers began to talk to each other from different angles and unusual positions. These talks expanded each time the artists met, as they were bringing in new friends, their greatest opponents, and their demonic persecutors. The talks became a long series of dialogues, which were later collected on the soft fibers of a papyrus roll - collected in the book Pandora’s Box.

As the dialogues continued it became clear for all involved that they were transforming their mutual discourses, as well as the necessity to put some conversations behind them. With the flow of the roll they were actually creating an artifact – a Pandora Box.

The book is published by Archive Books, and edited by Susanne M. Winterling and Antonia Lotz.
