Stateless House

Stateless House is a living space, a gathering place, and an evolving artwork situated in Langkawi.

It exists somewhere between a home, a residency, and a place of exchange—where the boundaries between artist, visitor, host, and collaborator remain fluid.

Stateless House is not a fixed institution, residency, or gallery. It is an evolving space shaped by the people who pass through it and the conversations that emerge along the way.

Located in Kampung Bohor Jani, Langkawi, surrounded by rice fields, village life, and open skies, it offers a place to gather, rest, work, and reflect. Artists, writers, researchers, musicians, and community members are invited to engage with the rhythms of the place and with one another.

Rooted in ideas of movement, displacement, and belonging, Stateless House reflects an ongoing exploration of what it means to exist between places, cultures, and identities. Rather than seeking to resolve these tensions, it creates space for them to be experienced, shared, and reimagined.

Here, the act of staying becomes part of the work. Conversations, meals, walks, experiments, collaborations, and moments of stillness contribute as much to the space as exhibitions or formal programmes. Nothing is permanent, yet everything leaves a trace.

As part of the broader Stateless Mind initiative,

Stateless House extends the dialogue into a physical space—

one that embraces uncertainty, welcomes participation, and remains in constant transition.

It is not just a place to inhabit, but a space to become.
