Ada Jochimsen - And You’ll Pass It On, Won’t You? - Rietveld Review(ed) 2023
------
In her thesis 'And You'll Pass It On, Won't You?', Ada explores the question of how to inherit. It started with a small stone that fell out of a ring and lead her to a 3-tons heavy head of Lenin, buried under a big pile of sand. Her text is an attempt to understand how to play the game of inheritance by following the entanglements of her personal and our collective histories.
