Profile

without appeal was established in London, UK in 2016. Formed in the wake of the Brexit referendum concerning Britain's relationship with the European Union, the platform was initially conceived in response to a moment of national reconfiguration characterized by vicious and disempowering media and policy making. 

without appeal takes its name from Albert Camus' seminal text 'The Myth of Sisyphus.' Initially a tongue-in-cheek joke at their status as newly undesirable 'citizens of nowhere,' the pair adopted Camus' diagnosis as a kind of political position from which to work, utilizing a broad, multi-disciplinary approach.
