Origins
Stateless Mind was initiated by Amir Zainorin as a series of artist-led festivals in Copenhagen, Denmark (2018–2023), bringing together migrant and diaspora artists through performances, screenings, and collective gatherings.
Rooted in his lived experience between Malaysia, Southeast Asia, Denmark, and Europe, the project emerged as a response to questions of displacement, identity, and belonging.
From these encounters, the Stateless Mind Pavilion evolved—an artist-led platform for collaboration, exchange, and public engagement across contexts.
The project continues to expand into new forms, including Stateless House, a residency and meeting space, and PACAK, an upcoming video festival. Stateless Mind moves between forms—festival, pavilion, house—remaining open, adaptable, and in motion.
