"The Unfiltered Archive" is a storytelling project centered around visibility on social media - and how it connects to digital wellness. On one hand, visibility provides an opportunity to be openly vulnerable, explore oneself and find community. On the other hand, it could also make people (and communities) susceptible to community violence, exacerbate social connection/belonging and catalyze an addiction to unhealthy digital behavior. 
So what do we choose to be visibility about? How does it impact our vulnerability? Our well-being? What does this mean?
