Stateless Democracy

New World Academy, an alternative learning platform for art and politics established by artist Jonas Staal and BAK, basis voor actuele kunst, has entered its fifth sequence. Developed together with the Kurdish Women’s Movement as a nomadic platform that will unfold throughout 2015, the fifth sequence of the New World Academy explores—from artistic, activist, and scholarly perspectives—the proposition of delinking democracy from the nation-state: the notion of “stateless democracy.”
