Taxonomising Resistance Technologies
This taxonomy is a living repository of digital systems that fall under the definition of what we call ‘Resistance Technology’ or ‘ResTech’, a digital layer in the migration sphere that is community-led, and built to fill gaps in information, welfare, and development through bottom-up means, thereby rebalancing existing power structures and enabling negotiation for people on the move.
What does it look like when technologies meant to facilitate human migration cater to the needs of people on the move? Our approach offers an alternative conception of building migration infrastructure: by bringing forth community value, and redefining what it means to enable self-determination for migrants.
