The Team
Meet the team behind The Hyphenation Project.
The Hyphenation Project has been built to document lived experiences and counter-narratives that resist and rebel against statist narratives and state-sponsored erasure, thereby also acting as a site of care. Beyond that, the Project is simply an archive meant to preserve the identities of all of us who live as and within the hyphen.
