Make Your Own Passport - Vetenskapsfestivalen

In the workshop "Make your own Passport" you will create a passport based on a template created by the artist Tintin Wulia. Original designs are passports from real countries and you will be awarded a nationality by lottery.

You make your "passport" together with the other participants. In the meantime, we will also talk about your passports, their significance for different people and about the concepts of citizenship, global issues,
migration and statelessness. Some participants will namely become stateless through the lucky draw. The stateless participants will produce a travel document instead of a passport. They also receive a real life story which they then share with other participants in the group. These stories also become starting points for critical dialogue about e.g. inequalities in living conditions.

The purpose of the project is to create open spaces for conversation and reflection on e.g. citizenship/statelessness, borders, migration and the encounter with the "unknown" (which is the theme of this year ́s festival).
