Huge Low Poly Art Sculptures And Installations By David Mesguich

David Mesguich, a street artist and globetrotter, makes large installations that leaves where everyone can see them, in the public spaces of countries like France, Belgium and Poland.

Huge installations that are designed to shake the social consciousness, as in the case of his latest project “Stateless“, a series where the protagonists are migrants who fight against the borders and the Holy Europe watching from the sideline.

You can’t deny a people their right to nationhood and self determination.

(This applies in all cases. Palestinians, Israelis, Assyrians, Kurds, Maronites, Chuvash, Tatars, Circassians, Basques, Uyghurs, Tibetans, and others)

To do so is stupid and evil behaviour.

Like some rogue state kind of shit.

End it.

For anyone who only listens to music on YT, my bestie made this playlist for all your fucking needs lmfao 🤣

Late night soft drinks and backstory with the Stateless trio, featuring Tony's hotel haircut. This book is lovely and thrilling and thoughtful, and I always appreciate this kind of scene.

Kafam güzel işe gidiyorum, umarım kovulmam.

The Bajau people have been crisscrossing the waters of the Sulu Sea for centuries, the world’s only community of self-sufficient sea nomads. To the Bajau, a “border” is merely the farthest distance they can reach by boat. ... Life for the Bajau became more complex in the colonial era when Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia created maritime borders in the Sulu zone: these frontiers were established in the Madrid protocol of 1885, without bothering to consider the distribution and diversity of the ethnic groups who lived there. But it was the Malaysian Immigration Act of 1959/1963 that most significantly changed things for the Bajau. This legislation failed to distinguish between asylum seekers, refugees, irregular migrants and undocumented or stateless individuals. ... As of 2023, only about 100 to 200 Bajau still live in the traditional “Lansa” houseboats near the eastern Malaysian city of Semporna. Lacking citizenship or formal rights to settle on the Borneo mainland, the Bajau of Philippine origins still preserve maritime hunting techniques passed down through generations. ... Out in the vastness of the Sulu Sea, the Bajau stand as emblems of self-sufficiency, but once they set foot ashore they find themselves relegated to the lowest social class. Their stateless status deprives them of government privileges: the children cannot access public schools and adults are prohibited from finding formal employment.

fucking Myanmar dictatorship, my burmese friends are stranded and cannot return unless they serve military

"The legal experts drew up the necessary legislation for making the victims stateless, which was important on two counts: it made it impossible for any country to inquire into their fate and it enabled the state in which they were resident to confiscate their property."  ― Hannah Arendt

Can we PLEASE stop referring to Assyrians in the past tense!

They’re still here! (Look them up)

They aren’t extinct!

STOP acting like it!

To do otherwise is committing blatant erasure of thousands of years of living human history!

There’s anywhere between 3 to 5 million of the buggers still alive today!

Here’s some additional information.

Feel free to read and reblog.
