In 1982, Black feminist poet June Jordan wrote about the need for “living room where the land is not bullied and beaten to a tombstone.” Born a Black woman, she says “I am become a Palestinian.” This public projection visualizes the narrowing of living room from the century old occupation to the current genocide being waged by Israel against Gaza. It sees displacement not as an event but a structure of ongoing occupation, colonial extraction, and gendered and sexual violence.

The installation at once highlights the broad “scholasticide” in which Israel has bombed universities, libraries, museums and other cultural institutions, and the gender-based violence that has destroyed living room for women and gender non-conforming people in Palestine. In calling for a right to “living room,” this projection stands in solidarity with Palestinian feminists’ assertion that Palestine is a feminist Issue.

The Feminist Media Studio is located on the unceded lands of the Kanien’kehá:ka Nation. We seek to stand in solidarity with Indigenous demands for land restitution and reparations.


  
Our work—committed to intersectional and anti-colonial feminist praxis—actively engages and names the predicament of doing feminism on stolen land. We acknowledge that territorial acknowledgement is insufficient to stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities.
Our anti-colonial and decolonial efforts articulated in our Lab Values center resisting extraction in all its facets, de-centering feminist canons, valuing methodologies that oppose white supremacy, and building good relations with human and more-than-humans.
