“Torn Apart is part of our Mobilized Humanities interventions. MH brings together digital tools to equip broad social awareness and help in global critical situations. We mobilize humanities faculties, libraries, and students with relevant language, archival, technical, and social expertise to nimbly produce curated and applied knowledge. MH sits away from state and non-governmental organizations and is scholarly activism in a global context.” The project currently has two volumes, each of which present multiple visualizations of data related to the current immigration crises in the United States.
Volume 1 of Torn Apart is “a rapidly deployed critical data & visualization intervention in the USA’s 2018 “Zero Tolerance Policy” for asylum seekers at the US Ports of Entry and the humanitarian crisis that has followed.”
Volume 2 of Torn Apart examines the territory and infrastructure of ICE’s financial regime in the USA.
