Declaration of Independence

The Provisional Government
of the
AUTONOMOUS REPUBLIC OF CREATIVE PRACTITIONERS

To the Global Community:
We declare the right of the creative practitioner to the
ownership of a mapped section of this world and to
the independent control of this territory.
In every generation, the artist has asserted
their right to freedom of expression
and creative autonomy: therefore we hereby proclaim
'The Autonomous Republic of Creative Practitioners'
as a sovereign and independent state
and we pledge to work creatively and with purpose towards the cause of its freedom,
of its welfare and of its exaltation among the nations of the world.
The Autonomous Republic offers to support and be supported
by each and every creative practitioner.
The Republic guarantees equal rights and opportunities
to all its citizens and declares its resolve to pursue the happiness and prosperity of the whole nation
and of all its parts, cherishing all the creative citizens of the nation equally.
Until our borders are mapped to mark the opportune moment
for the establishment of the Republic,
a provisional national boundary hereby constituted,
will hold the Republic in trust for the people.
After the dissolution of such boundaries of the Republic,
this mapped territory may continue to exist in a virtual state.
At this supreme hour we place the cause of the
Autonomous Republic under the protection of
'The Society of Creative Liberty and Freedom of Expression'.

    the republic is brilliant. it's a great statemant of rebellion against the powers of money, media and collective mind control. the struggle is in the mind and the public consciousness. i salute you . if you are ok i will use the manifesto and concept in my performance works. and mabye with some other folks. your mate, snorkel ( Mark O'Neill)
