Summary:

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 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.
