Whether "tequio" in Mexico, "ubuntu" in South Africa or "mutirão" in Brazil; there are many terms for the common good around the world: as part of documenta fifteen and its core idea of collectivity, seven novelists - Azhari Aiyub, Cristina Judar, Nesrine A. Khoury, Mithu Sanyal, Panashe Chigumadzi, Uxue Alberdi and Yásnaya Elena Aguilar Gil - from different parts of the world are contributing new stories about collective work and forms of community. Seven international publishers have also joined forces to provide this global perspective on the exhibition theme in different language editions.
