About UsThe internet is a phenomenon fundamentally bound to our experiences. This binding has made identity central to the internet, and has destabilized identity from geography.What is MeshMesh is a digital archive of community knowledge and a learning project. Our aim is to create a resource and a place where people to feel safe enough to start participating in their own liberation.Why We Created MeshConversations and writings about identity building and community, especially regarding the internet have been historically whitewashed and detached from larger narratives that inform various media and forms of communication on the internet. However, there has been a plague of antiblackness and transmisogyny in spaces (including internet spaces) dedicated to practicing solidarity and ensuring the safety of people of marginalized identities. While the internet does allow a greater amount of resources to be accessible to people outside of academic institutions, information still fails to be understandable and can be further alienating to people (similarly to how we have been alienated and silenced within the classroom).Our ProcessWe seek to integrate discourse about the IRL/URL experience (especially regarding identity building), to create an archive where people can reference and have access to historical resources about identity, liberation, etc. Simultaneously, we also seek to document and save contemporary and non-academic works regarding our experience, that may be harder to preserve, but may be more accessible and equally valuable due to the greater accessibility of self publishing.Our Goals/MissionOur goal at Mesh is to both engage people more and to engage people completely, through honest dialogue about identity centered on intersubjectivity, that is facilitated through a variety of mediums. Mesh is an exercise in asking questions, and in attempting to answer them through discussions and practice in our communities.SubmitWe are currently We are currently looking for artist, writers, photographers, and videographers, etc. to submit to our first publication!
