Recorded at the close of Residency 28, Your Pleasure, Our Pain, the discussion revisits the question that opened the residency: What is luxury to you?

What follows is an open, thoughtful exchange on how perspectives have shifted over the course of the residency—touching on luxury as time, intimacy, care, disorientation, and collective reflection.

Residency 28 brought together a diverse group of artists, artisans, designers and researchers to explore the ethics of luxury through the loupe of the lapidary. It was developed by Goethe-Institut Norwegen and Institut français de Norvège, LuCAC and Rudolf Kangwa.
