BUTTERBUTTER PROJEKT - Alles in Butter
Please describe the concept of your artwork in 1000 words.

“Butter” from 'Buttebutter project - alles in Butter’ : “Alles in Butter” is a common phrase in German language. It means 'everything is okay.' Although it has many stories of its origin, the phrase was most likely originated from a common medieval practice that people used butter to protect fragile products such as glasses or dishes when transporting these goods. Likewise, our project aims to transport fragile hearts of many who experienced discrimination into one place. During the transportation process, we use butter as our medium. In the end, we freely archive voices of Anti-Asian racism by collecting works of artists (All of us are artists) who are living in Germany. The eligible artists will be asked to use butter either directly or indirectly to express their voices against racial discrimination in the post-corona age. Butter is an important symbol of our movement.
