As part of the current exhibition *Mo Diener – Hologram*, the Rehmann Museum invites you to an in-depth, interdisciplinary discussion on Sunday, October 4, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. In this discussion, artist Mo Diener and Dr. Naveen Shamsudhin (Kaleido) will explore the fascinating concept of the “social hologram.”

The “social hologram” combines artistic practice with revolutionary approaches to human collaboration and mutual support. The starting point for the discussion is the project *The Hologram* (developed by Cassie Thornton / Feminist Economics Department). Behind it lies a visionary idea: a feminist science fiction concept has been translated here into a self-organized set of rules for everyday life—a so-called autonomous protocol. In practical terms, this means that people organize themselves into small groups of four, independent of government or institutional bodies, to support one another, listen to one another, and paint a multidimensional picture of their well-being. What begins as a small-scale, decentralized project grows into an exponential network, evolving into a solidarity-based alternative to capitalist structures.

In their dialogue, Mo Diener and Naveen Shamsudhin (Kaleido) draw a connection from these utopian yet concrete protocols of solidarity to the pressing questions of our time: How can social fabrics and systemic structures interlock to enable new forms of care, healing, and community? Can such a viral system of care break through physical or even digital isolation?
