The New World Academy, founded by artist Jonas Staal and BAK, basis voor actuele kunst Utrecht, invites organizations invested in the progressive political project to collaborate with artists and students on the role of art at the center of political struggle. The notion of leaderless politics is studied through the optics of Pirate Parties International. In this session, the participants reflect upon the implications the Pirate Parties’ political programs and horizontal structure hold for the future of artistic production, such as the critical issues of open source and equal access, among others. The participants, teachers, and coordinators worked together to develop an online and digital campaign for a leaderless party.
