"The Francis Effect was about proposing something completely
absurd, as absurd as borders are. If Immigrant Movement was for the
thousands of people who went there, The The Francis Effect was just
for one person, the pope. But the more people that participated,
the more personal it became." -Tania Bruguera Stemming from a
performance that originated at the Guggenheim Museum, The Francis
Effect explores Tania Bruguera's work as an artist, activist, and
Cuban immigrant to the US engaging the tension between art's
pragmatic, activist, and aesthetic possibilities. The performance
of The Francis Effect follows the guise of a political campaign,
aiming to request that the Pope grant Vatican City citizenship to
all immigrants and refugees. As a conversational, collaborative
project, the resulting book mirrors Bruguera's artistic practice
with essays and conversations from the the curators and Bruguera.
In addition, the book-project is embiggened by socially-engaged
commissioned essays from art historian Our Literal Speed,
sociologist Saskia Sassen, and historian Nicolas Terpstra. A
groundbreaking interdisciplinary discussion of borders, Pangaea,
sociology, and religious studies, The Francis effect offers art as
a vehicle for social change, placing this work in the context of
its creative and critical reception.
