Our name began as a wisecrack. In 2000, writer Jamie Kalven and two collaborators were operating out of a vacant unit in a public housing highrise where the online human rights reporting platform The View From The Ground was born. With tongue in cheek, Kalven wrote that The View was published under the auspices of something called the Invisible Institute. The name stuck. Now, the name represents an unfolding adventure: a process of inquiry, exploration and relationship-building. As many of our projects center on themes of visibility and place, there is another meaning to our name: We seek to keep fellow citizens visible by resisting the forces that disappear certain individuals, populations and places.
