The Yellow Manifesto: (A Border Manifesto)

School of Arts, English and Languages

Research output: Non-textual form › Exhibition

Abstract

The Yellow Manifesto, in a 6 by 4 foot print, has been exhibited widely. This record is for a showing in the group exhibition "“Everyone Is an Artist” Cosmopolitical Exercises with Joseph Beuys". It ran in K20, Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, a modern art museum in Düsseldorf, Germany.

The Border People’s Parliament was held in the grand marble hall of Stormont, Northern Ireland’s parliament. We gathered around 150 people from the borderland, aiming for a mix of backgrounds and ages. On the night we ate a meal together and I conducted some interviews and made recordings.

Participants were asked to consider various questions about the borderland and their lives on it. For the last part of the night, they were given sheets of paper on which to respond to our questions. Some wrote postcard-length comments, others extended letters. I was charged with taking their words and distilling them into a single border people’s manifesto.
