The Collection:
A Living Archive of Forced Migration
Processed by Fractured Atlas (501(c)(3)). Automatic tax receipt provided.
Each artwork bears witness to displacement, resilience, and belonging. By bringing these works into museums, schools, and public spaces across the U.S., we turn data into human connection—and empathy.
Voices of migrant and refugee artists in the U.S.
Art as a catalyst for education and empathy
A projected 10,000 visitors engaged in 2025
A Hybrid
and Evolving Model
Our permanent collection grows in two complementary ways:
Acquisitions that remain part of our archive for the long term—selected for artistic merit, provenance clarity, relevance with our mission, and care standards.
Local loans from collectors, artists, and cultural institutions in each host city—so every exhibition is locally relevant and nationally connected.
This hybrid approach combines curatorial excellence with community collaboration, activating place-based narratives wherever the collection travels.
What We Own, What We Share
Museum-quality, one-of-a-kind works selected for artistic significance and mission fit
Fully documented, insured, and preserved under professional care
A growing core collection of 15–20 cornerstone pieces by established refugee and migrant artists
Short- and long-term loans generously provided by collectors, artists, and partner museums
Local perspectives and cultural relevance added to each exhibition
All works displayed with full credit and shown under written loan agreements
Help conserve, insure, and exhibit the collection.
Transparency and Ethical Standards
We are committed to ethical stewardship and shared responsibility. Every acquisition or loan is governed by a written agreement, insured, and exhibited only with verified provenance and explicit permission.
Our Collection Policy and Partnership Guide will be published soon to ensure accountability and clarity for artists, lenders, and host venues.

Curatorial Focus (U.S. Context)
We organize the collection around themes that deepen understanding of migration in the United States:
Memory & Testimony: personal archives, maps, letters, and objects of passage
Borders & Belonging: movement, identity, and the right to have rights
Labor & Dignity: work, housing, and rebuilding everyday life
Healing & Community: care, solidarity, and collective rituals
Future Imaginings: XR/film/installation that re-maps hope and home
For Museums & Universities
Host a traveling exhibition or co-develop a campus program. Partners receive:
Curatorial support, exhibition design, and wall texts
Education kits, faculty workshops, and student engagement
Press kit and brand assets
Impact reporting (attendance, learning outcomes, audience feedback)
For Artists & Collectors
We welcome loans and donations of contemporary works (2D/3D, media, XR) rooted in refugee and migrant experience. We review artworks for relevance, condition, provenance, and care needs. Professional transport, insurance, and conservation standards apply.
UNITY
Connecting art, culture, and communities for change.
