Description
«Stateless Solo» is a ceremony; reflecting on death, women and the state. It is an attempt at restoring spirit in wounded geographies and bodies. In contrast to the nation-state framing of social life and history, Elvan explores being stateless beyond the notion of nationality and citizenship.
