Amplify

Sometimes what feels personal is connected to a wider pattern.

Amplify explores the systems, assumptions and power dynamics behind everyday experiences of communication, access, identity and belonging.

What Amplify Is

Amplify begins with a question.

Why does this keep happening?

Why does this experience feel familiar?

What sits behind the moment?

Sometimes the barrier is not immediately visible. It may lie in policies, expectations, decisions or how communication is handled.

Amplify questions what is often treated as normal, neutral or inevitable, and asks who is affected, whose perspective is missing and where responsibility lies.

Commentary

These commentaries examine the contradictions between what is said, what happens in practice and who is affected.

The subjects range from Deaf access and professional boundaries to workplace culture, identity, power and accountability.

Each piece offers a perspective to consider, question or challenge – not a conclusion readers are expected to accept.
