Thank you to the curators of the 2018 U.S. Pavilion, Venice Architecture Biennale for inviting us to contribute our thoughts on the Dimensions of Citizenship. Joyce’s contribution is posted as part of the series Form N-X00: New Forms for Citizenship.
The images and short texts in the series Form N-X00: New Forms for Citizenship respond to contemporary understandings of citizenship. Revisiting the bureaucratic application for naturalization to the US, Form N-600, this series asks an international group of architects, designers, writers, artists, and thinkers to contribute their thoughts on how inclusion and exclusion are spatially constructed. By interrogating, speculating, and reflecting on different scales of belonging, this growing collection provokes and expands our current understanding of citizenship.
