ABOUT THE WORLD’S UNFAIR
Across an immersive spectacle of animatronics, large-scale sculptures, video installations, and powwow grounds, The World’s UnFair invites you to play a part in a decolonized future. Brought to you by New Red Order (NRO), a public secret society of informants and collaborators dedicated to rechannelling desires for indigeneity towards the expansion of Indigenous futures, The World’s UnFair offers a practical solution to growing calls for the return of Indigenous land: Give It Back.
People watch a talking animatronic tree and beaver chat about land and private property, along with a tongue-in-cheek video. The various documentaries and mockumentaries have slogans like, “Never settle!” and “Give It Back!”

The “New Red Order Realty” office showcases a film of testimonials from people and municipalities who deeded land back to indigenous groups. “I’m so proud of our city, that we were able to make a small amends by returning an island where a massacre, horrible massacre happened,” said Eureka mayor Kim Bergel.
