At Humanoid Archives, we are guided by the following commitments:
Decolonial practice
We challenge eurocentric, extractive models of research and storytelling by centering global majority voices, lived experience, and knowledge beyond academia.
Anti-oppressive curation
We reject representations that dehumanise, tokenise, or commodify. We strive to hold space for complexity, pain, resistance, and joy.
Anti-racism
We actively resist white supremacy and uplift narratives that expose systems of racialised violence and survival.
Critical pedagogy
We believe art can teach, unteach, and re-teach, and that engagement should inspire curiosity, discomfort, dialogue, and care.
Accessibility and integrity
We aim to make this archive accessible in tone and form, while maintaining honesty in how we gather, frame, and share each piece.
