Calling All Denizens: Publication Release and Potluck

7pm-8:30pm @ Intersect Art Center

Counterpublic presents Calling All Denizens: Publication Release & Readings.

Please join us on Wednesday, June 19th from 7 to 8:30pm at Intersect Art Center for a potluck celebrating the Calling All Denizens publication release, which features conversations with St. Louis-based organizers including Elizabeth Vega, Julia Ho, Robert White III, Leah Clyburn, and Baltimore-based N’Deye Diakhate. At the potluck, community members and workshop participants will be invited to share short stories, experiences, writings, and artworks that explore the notions of “from within” and “from without” as they pertain to the nuances of citizenship, sovereignty, migration, exile, and diasporas.

Calling All Denizens is a participatory research project that facilitates conversations, workshops, and programs that aim to cooperatively imagine the new political practice of denizenship as an alternative to the notion of citizenship. “Denizen,” derived from Latin deintus, literally means “from within”, but has historically been used in reference to foreign residents who are granted limited rights in the states in which they reside. Calling All Denizens is an artist project organized by Kimi Hanauer.
