The Polity of Φ promotional video
Deniz Uster & Alberta Whittle
Manifested in the form of a travelling intergalactic vessel, a floating nomadic country, “The
Polity of Φ” is a community-led research project, encouraging an open dialogue into the right to
inhabit specific geographies, instigating a dialogue into who exactly is welcome in Britain. Φ in
this scenario was a utopic country without possession of any landmass rooted on earth, whose occupants live and work together as an autarchic community.
The film was shown as part of The Polity of Φ: The Consulate at the Intermedia Gallery at CCA,
part of Glasgow International 2016.
