Envisioning an alternative future where justice is restored to stateless people in the U.S.

U.S. Citizenship Initiative for the Stateless (USCIS) is a visionary agency that aims to break fear, apathy, and the bureaucratic deadlock that perpetuates the invisibility of stateless people. This imaginary office co-opts and reimagines the legal and visual language of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Collaborating with United Stateless, a grassroots organization led by stateless people living in America, USCIS advocates on behalf of stateless people in the U.S. through forms, travel documents, posters, and media activism. Developed as Harvard GSD Thesis project
