DEMOS: WE HAVE NEVER BEEN DEMOCRATIC is based on conversations held and work developed during the 2015 Banff Research in Culture (BRiC) residency. The residency brought together artists, writers, researchers, and cultural producers who in their work explore the ways in which we might reinvigorate democratic life today—not just ‘democratic’ in the narrow, political sense, but as life in common, in which being and belonging engender the full flourishing of individuals and communities. PUBLIC 55 challenges the notion that the neoliberal present constitutes a radical deviation from a vibrant history of democratic liberalism. Indeed, our contention is that the ideal held out by the concept of the demos has never been realized. In this spirit, the essays, interviews and artist projects collected here begin to think through the possibilities for collective life at a moment when democracy no longer seems to exist anywhere.
