Spectare extrorsum. Look outwards. That was the motto for Doggerland, a fictional place and university that I explored for a new kind of citizenship.
I was inspired by the lost landmass of Doggerland that once connected the islands of Great Britain with its European continent, and by Virginia Woolf’s invocation, Think we must.
This online project offered a Certificate of Citizenship for humans and nonhumans alike to participate.
The project ended in 2019 but its archive remains.
Doggerland looks out and upwards, across the sea and towards the stars. Doggerland is a land that has no borders, that cannot be contained, its surface flows, sinks, and rises.
