Project Partner
Feminist Media Lab (FemmeLab) started in late 2019 with a spark of inspiration: how do we use and transform media in order to realize feminism’s alternative vision of our current society, one where people of all genders and sexualities have a voice in matters that shape their imaginations, realities, and futures? Backed by a close-knit community of feminists, gender advocates, and allies, this inspiration turned into small collaborative projects. Today, FemmeLab serves as a media advocacy hub that seeks to arouse and amplify feminist voices, narratives, and visions through innovations in media production and community-building.
