The archive aims to let formerly incarcerated migrants tell their stories in their own words through interviews, art and memorabilia.
Danyelle Khmara The University of Arizona and community partners created a public archive with stories of undocumented migrants who were incarcerated in Arizona.
The Florence Project helped establish guidelines for the project to ensure nothing in the archives would cause any harm to the participants. Everyone who took part in the interviewing also did a session on trauma-informed interviewing techniques. “Her experience in detention was, while difficult and in line with the difficulty that everyone in that circumstance experiences, still privileged,” said Taylor, who has been focusing on the borderlands for decades and whose work inspired the project. “She was able to navigate the system and, in fact, help other people navigate the system.”
As their detention experiences varied, so did participants' experiences after detention. Some were deported, and others were able to begin the asylum process in the U.S.
