Digital Archives of Refugees’ Self-Representation is a digital archive of self-represented audiovisual media that attempts to diversify journalistic practices by recentering the agency of those traditionally excluded from humanitarian discourse pertinent to the U.S.-Mexico border. The team will be investigating how migrants use social media to share their stories, uncover which groups of migrants don’t, and work with translation and transcription software and local community organizations to increase marginalized communities’ accessibility to storytelling technology. In that process, they investigate what long-term consent of data can mean in a seemingly permanent digital space for individuals in legally precarious circumstances whose needs can change.
