BECOME A CITIZEN OF THE NOMAD TERRITORIES!

In the summer of 1994, in reaction to ethnic assertion and
to the ever-growing exacerbation of nationalism, the
artists' group Collectif Inter/Le Lieu of Quebec proposed
the formation of Les Territoires Nomades/ The Nomad
Territories. This proposal was made through an initial
project entitled Manoeuvre Nomad. A manoeuvre from Quebec
across Europe was planned, with events taking place in a
series of, predominately art, centres in a variety of
different cities. A passport bearing the colours and emblem
of the Nomad Territories was issued in each place. These
events, composed as they were of exhibitions, installations
and performances, both generated and attracted a great deal
of political, social, artistic and media interest. The
centres hosting the manoeuvre then became the consulates of
The Nomad Territories. Now, two years and almost 1,000
citizens later, the manoeuvre continues and there are many
more consulates and citizens across the globe, from Mexico
to Singapore and now also including Northern Ireland
(Catalyst Arts) and England (Hull Time Based Arts). The
challenge to us now is this: what can YOU do in YOUR
city/region/country/planet to inaugurate such an urgent
global project?

Answer: BECOME A CITIZEN OF THE NOMAD TERRITORIES! To become
a Nomad citizen it is essential to obtain an official
passport from the government of the Nomad Territories.
Fortunately, this is very easy to do. Just contact:
