STOPD: Eventual Everydays

STOPD: Eventual Everydays

Isabella von Mühlen Brandalise (MFA Transdisciplinary Design '16)

Advising

Eventual Everydays represents research on government and governance framed as a pataphysical narrative. Created by Isabella von Mühlen Brandalise, it introduces the NYC Subcommittee of Temporary Operations and Public Dissent (STOPD), a fictional agency embedded within the NYC Mayor’s Office.

Through temporary autonomous zones, decentralized archives, zines and public programs, it critiques rigid institutional structures while imagining new forms of governance. By exploring the tension between stability and transformation, Eventual Everydays positions governance as a participatory and imaginative act—one where alternative worlds can take shape.
