A Friday-afternoon Diversion (of the Feminist Kind!)

Need some inspiration with your distraction as you wind down the hours to the weekend? Check out nist.tv, the latest addition to the feminist web.

According to creator Anne Jonas:

Nist.tv brings together feminist videos from across the web and embeds them in one place, making them easily searchable and browseable. My hope is that nist.tv can be a useful resource for scholars and activists as well as a general destination for folks who like to watch feminist video. It’s a little bit of a cross between a feminist video archive and a feminist version of something like In Media Res.

I would greatly appreciate your feedback. I would also love to bring on more moderators and organizational partners who would add videos and commentary and give context to the content. We’re working on including exhibits, where a curator would bring together several videos on a topic and discuss them, and other next steps, so we really welcome your ideas!

You can also have a constant stream of feminist videos on your website by adding a nist.tv widget. Widgets can also be made for a particular category, just email me for more information on that.

Anne has kindly shared her email for all feedback and request purposes: anne at pculture dot org

Got a vid you think they should include? If you can’t find it on the site, just click the “submit” button to send it it. (And feel free to link to your fave feminist videos in the comments!)

  1. I hope this website will prioritize accessibility and the provision of transcripts and other accessible web design features (and have sent an email to this effect to the provided contact address). I’ve gone through the site (the ‘about’ page and some video pages) and did not find anything like that so far. Otherwise, I like the idea of a video archive.
