In 𝙉𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙣 𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙮 (2007), Navin Rawanchaikul reimagines the language of old political propaganda — using the woodblock print technique reminiscent of hand-printed flyers once used to promote parties, ideologies, and dreams of power.

By forming a fictional “𝙉𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙣 𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙮,” the artist turns his own name into a metaphor

playfully yet sharply questioning how collective identity, participation, and representation are formed.

𝙉𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙣 𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙮 is one of the projects that Navin describes as a pseudo-political party  a fictional organization through which he invites people named “Navin” from around the world to join. It playfully explores identity, fame, and political roles, while subtly questioning notions of power, unity, and “democracy” in contemporary society.

Freedom, therefore, does not belong to any single person — it is a space where every voice can be heard.
