Co-sponsored by the Feminist Media Studio & Dark Opacities Lab

What does “home” mean in the settler colony and how does that term come to resound differently for and across communities? How might our homes—the places we grew up and the places we now inhabit—become spaces of explicitly anticolonial dwelling? Through her new collaborative feature-length documentary THE NEST Singh turns to the architecture of the settler colony to ignite trans-cultural and trans-historical anticolonial feminist kinships. Displacing the legacies of home passed down by the heteronuclear family and through the settler state THE NEST intimately examines the architecture of Singh’s childhood home to reframe Canadian history as a story of entangled subjugated and politically charged feminist and minoritized lives.
Image Description: A collage-style graphic for Singh’s documentary, The Nest, features torn images of florals, a bird’s wing, and other scraps elucidating a nest. These overlay an image of a stately home, before which six women and girls of varying ages stand.

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.
