The Gallery was a tool. The Republic is the Idea.
BROFA is a moving utopia. A state, a myth, and a collective intervention. It has no territory, yet it has citizens. It exists in a single dimension: the territory of the spirit.
Contemporary art has spent decades criticizing institutions. I chose not to criticize. I created a parallel reality.
I, Arkadi Kotanjyan, am the President of BROFA. The President of Emptiness.
I did not seek a mandate. I declared it — to expose the absurdity of all titles. While the world fights for seats of power, I simply occupied the void and remained free.

THE PASSPORT
Our passport is not an ID. It is a declaration of freedom.
It is earned through the Gesture.

DIPLOMATIC MISSIONS
The Path of the Ambassador
Every blank wall is a future Embassy. Every dialogue with authority is a diplomatic negotiation.
Under the flag of the Republic, you act as a Sovereign. You define the territory. You establish the mission. You manifest your own freedom.

THE TRIBE
If you are a curator, a gallery, or a creator — establish a Bannana Gallery in your city. Build the walls. Define the art. Claim the territory.
The Republic is not an institution. It is a global tribe of guerrilla artists.
The Republic is you.

Freedom is the only geography we recognize.
There is no throne — only the banana box and the gesture.
