ABOUT

This is my idea during my two-week working trial in FABRICA. I got accepted to work + study in FABRICA thanks to this project. The Insight of this campaign is that stateless people struggle to have their own rights because of the laws in many of the countries they seek refuge in either can not or simply do not recognize their rights.

The key answer for this problem is a new country and visa/passport. To solve this problem with a long-term solution, I came out with this idea of creating a new country for stateless people with Instagram photos. All people need to do is to post photo of their feet (my land is your land) via the hashtag #ENDSTATELESSNESS, and the photo will be pinned to Google Maps.

The more submissions, the larger this new country will grow. The country only exists in a map but as a physical country or location. This country will be represented by all UNHCR offices all around the world, which will be converted into makeshift embassies. The embassies will then give stateless people visa/passport to stay in the country there are residing in.
