New World Summit
Jonas Staal
The Netherlands
suggested by Hendrik Folkerts

New World Summit is an artistic and political organization that creates ‘parliaments’ for stateless and blacklisted political groups that are banned from democracy. These parliaments take the form of large architectural constructions in theatres, art and public spaces.

The focus of the New World Summit has been on the War on Terror and the use of blacklists that impose travel bans, retrieve passports and freeze bank accounts of organisations considered a threat to democracy. This massive and unaccountable global security apparatus has created the conditions and legitimation for new “terrorist” threats to emerge and pose grave danger to civil liberties at large.

Who is Jonas Staal?
New World Summit was founded in 2012 by artist Jonas Staal, and consists of artists, architects, designers, philosophers and diplomats. New World Summit collaborates with art and cultural institutions but also with organisations from the field of transformative law and diplomacy. In 2013, the New World Academy was created: an educational platform that invites artists, students and stateless organisations to explore the role of art at the heart of political struggle.
