After a year-long residency at AAIR, artists Che Go Eun, Tom Hallet, Julia Dahee Hong, Béla Juttner and Joud Toamah make an exhibition, a public programme, and a publication proposing the question: what do stories want? Each of the artists looks at the fabric of the story in their own way. Not only do they propose new stories, but they also analyse the inner function of the story. These artists put the power dynamics of presumably persuasive narrative arcs into question. What is the story’s previous trajectory, current agenda, and possible future?
