Our Mission Statement

Our mission is the preservation of our personal narratives and creative expression entirely on our own terms. In a world driven by algorithms and endless data, we believe in the quiet power of curating our own stories and sharing our identities independently.

This archive—rooted in the advocacy of works like The Forgotten One and the rhythmic meter of Muddy Eyes and Entrelazada—is more than just a creative outlet; it is a dedicated, safe space for truth. By weaving our lived experiences with invisible disabilities and our personal histories into an independent, self-curated framework, we transform vulnerability into a lasting record of resilience.

Operating strictly through grassroots distribution—from our self-hosted digital archive to the physical purple folders we leave in local community spaces—we bypass traditional corporate gatekeepers. We stand as the sovereign custodians of our own voices, building a network of hope and authentic connection for anyone looking to protect their dignity and share their creativity.

We are all Fallen Pears. This is everybody’s archive.
