Intergenerational feminist praxis and the making of the Feminist Freedom Warriors video archive

Abstract

Feminist Freedom Warriors (FFW) is a digital video archive and documentary endeavour that was born out of a deep engagement in anti-capitalist, anti-racist feminist struggles of women of colour from the Global South. FFW are filmed in conversation with co-founders Linda Carty and Chandra Talpade Mohanty—many are sisters and comrades that they have worked with over decades. Rooted in a commitment to advancing justice and equity through scholarly practice, FFW illuminates the intersection of feminist activism, racial justice, and economic equity. It presents a dynamic collection of intimate conversations with scholar-activists who have shaped contemporary gender, racial, and economic justice movements.
