Who is a citizen today? How is citizenship designed? Citizenship by Design raises critical questions about the nature of contemporary political identities by focusing on an object whose design is often taken for granted: the passport. The project asks how passports might be redesigned to reflect new forms of “nonstandard” citizenship in a world marked by increasingly fluid and contentious national borders. Traditional definitions of citizenship based on place of birth (jus soli) or blood (jus sanguinis) are being eroded by the increasing mobility of individuals, capital, and national borders. Contemporary “nonstandard” citizens occupy a spectrum of identities, from undocumented immigrants barred by their extralegal status from participating politically in their communities to globetrotting financiers who exploit international tax havens. This project is in collaboration with Kadambari Baxi and supported by the IFG-Ulm.
