The Context Collective

In the present era of social media, we are constantly bombarded with bullets of information that we are unable to adequately process. There are so many injustices in our world, however, the culture of performative activism, which we define as actions fueled by the trivialization of information created by the age of fast-paced media (such as posting something on your social media and moving on), render the youth from finding effective actions against these wrongdoings. The Context Collective—a multimedia project—aims to provide a novel solution to this underlying, but detrimental, problem by providing accessible information about the various aspects of our existence. Whether it be about our democracy or humanitarian crises, we hope to author articles that inform our audience about current crises and pressing issues that are occuring domestically or internationally. However, going a step further, The Context Collective intends on amalgamating resources that will allow our readers to go beyond the stories that they are exposed to and take action against the injustices highlighted in each article.
