The CANCELLED Arts Programme was comprised of five main parts: CANCELLED Platform CANCELLED Dialogues Six artists were commissioned to create new works of art, in any medium, for performance or exhibition at the Conference as part of the CANCELLED Platform. Each artist was paired with a conference delegate. The artist-delegate partners exchanged experiences and perspectives in the lead-up to the conference, which fed into the artworks that were produced for the conference. They were also encouraged to present their experiences of working together within the CANCELLED Arts Programme. The CANCELLED Dialogues were curated conversations that took place as key events within the Conference. They were interdisciplinary, nonhierarchical conversations convened by artists and featuring non-artists as well, in response to artwork or a social intervention of relevance. The Cancelled Dialogues were: CANCELLED Archive The CANCELLED Archive marks the beginnings of a global collection of artworks reflecting on issues of statelessness. The CANCELLED Archive exists primarily as a virtual platform providing access to artists and artworks that focus on statelessness. Selected artworks from the CANCELLED Archive featured at the Conference. It is intended that the Archive will be maintained going forward, becoming a global repository for artwork related to statelessness. CANCELLED Experiment The CANCELLED Experiment included discrete artist interventions challenging the structure, process and programming of the Conference. Interventions included the use of signage to compel conference participants to identify with one of two binary categorisations (such as EU/Non-EU and female/ non-female), in order to invoke a deeper reflection onto the identities that are imposed on us as well as the implications of not fitting within such identities (or being cancelled). On the last day of the conference, the CANCELLED programme hosted an Artist Audience Discussion entitled ‘Unpacking the CANCELLED Experiment: A roundtable discussion between artists and audience on what was intended and what was experienced through the CANCELLED Experiment’. 42 CANCELLED: Risk ‘Discussing the politics of personal and institutional risk within the issue of statelessness’ Professor, John Packer, in conversation with Professor, David Cotterrell. CANCELLED: Identity ‘Identities that exist at the exclusion of others with an artwork as stimulus for conversation, artists and activists discuss the politics of identities that are defined by cancellation’ Artist, Manish Harijan; Lawyer, Cynthia Orchard; Artist, Rana Bishara and Statelessness Activist, Jawad Fairooz. CANCELLED Bridge The CANCELLED Bridge aimed to connect the closed space of the ISI World Conference to the city of The Hague and vice-versa. It included a reception, hosted in collaboration with the City of The Hague, at The Hague Humanity Hub – home to a community of innovators in peace, justice, and humanitarian action.
