The Amplification Project: Digital Archive for Forced Migration, Contemporary Art, and Action Favorite 

The Amplification Project: Digital Archive for Forced Migration, Contemporary Art, and Action (https://theamplificationproject.com) is a community-led participatory public digital archive to which any artist and activist can document, preserve and share their work inspired, influenced, or affected by forced migration. The Amplification Project was founded in 2019 by an international group of artists, archivists, activists, and curators (https://theamplificationproject.com/about).

We are committed to:
• preserving and providing a platform for new and existing artistic and activist productions related to forced migration
• intervening in public and political anti-refugee and xenophobic rhetoric
• being a counterpoint to the often depersonalized and dehumanized visual representation of asylum seekers and refugees in the media
• using archiving to raise awareness about and speak to injustices around refugeehood and displacement
• building community, fostering dialogue, and supporting artists' and activists' archiving needs
• working hand-in-hand with and connecting local, national, and transnational art practices, activist projects, and conversations centered on forced migration issues
