By taking departure from the work of the No Border Musical and the Asylum Rally, based in Malmö in the south of Sweden, the purpose of this paper is to explore the notion of political agency. Having in common making visible and questioning migration policies, the Asylum Rally and the musical are constituted of people with and without legal status. The musical was founded in 2011 and has since then worked with writing a manuscript, shaping the ensemble and performing in the cities of Malmö, Stockholm and Norrköping. The Asylum Rally started its work of organizing in the beginning of 2013 and in the following summer the 34 days long march from Malmö to Stockholm was carried out. The aims of both organisations can be understood as making visible the consequences of migration control in contrast to the otherwise dominant discourse of refugees and undocumented persons as apolitical, universal victims in desperate need of help, entirely separated from the political, social and historical context within which they exist. In this paper we ask ourselves what these two organisations can teach us about political agency. The question that has guided this paper is: How can political agency be made possible in a society where citizenship is seen as a prerequisite for political participation? By interviewing and participating, underpinned by an activist oriented method, we conclude that perceptions of who can be a political agent are dynamic and constantly subject to challenges. Our findings show that to perform and be acknowledged as a political agent is not static and fixed but rather a redefinable and transformable process. We are also reminded that even if undocumented persons have constituted themselves as political agents, given the temporality and fluidity of political agency, they are still subject to deportation.
