But then again, though some people worked hard to get The Certificate proper recognition, after a few attempts The Certificate faded again into nonexistence. Again it was like it had never existed. But then after the event, The Certificate was forgotten for a while. It was as if it had never existed. *** The Certificate was born again in 2017 in another small country right across the globe – on a warm day in June. The name of this country is Sri Lanka. This time the UNHCR knew about its birth and noted it down. *** The most public and unexpected birth of The Certificate was 2 years later in June 2019 in the Hague, The Netherlands. This was at the first World Conference on Statelessness – and it was organized by the Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion. The Certificate was brought to life as part of the CANCELLED arts programme curated by Empathy and Risk. In Sri Lanka, The Certificate was brought to life within a context of World Refugee Day. There were many issues connected to Refugees which were discussed on this day but The Certificate reminded people about the issues particular to Statelessness – which are different to the issues related to Refugees. The Certificate was performed by Shyalina Muthumudalige – who was even younger than Kadhija. The adults who watched Shyalina bringing The Certificate to life were impressed by how much a little girl knew about such complex adult issue. The CANCELLED arts programme was created by artists and its intention was to complement and challenge the World Conference on Statelessness. The Certificate played a big part in this plan. 13
