Refugee Material Culture Initiative

Refugee Material Culture Initiative

The Refugee Material Culture Initiative (RMCI) is a community-engaged, digital humanities project with the aims of 

  1. digitally preserving art and artifacts made/used by refugees, 
  2. creating a free and accessible database of the digital outputs, and 
  3. generating educational resources on refugee histories. 

It is our expressed goal to feature the diversity and complexity of refugee experiences and to affirm that refugees are powerful knowledge producers.
