SISTERHOOD MEDIA


Sisterhood Media is a streaming platform for and by people on the margins that is changing the narrative for marginalised communities in the media. Their work aims to start discussions about topics surrounding identity, community, and self-actualization through a variety of different audio and visual mediums. 

Part of their efforts include bringing their work to the communities that may need them. They do this with a screening series called What If Media Looked like Us. The series hit London mid-december, bringing a diverse group of people in the city together for a screening of 9 short films which tell authentic and poignant stories through the Black and Aboriginal lense.

This screening drew attention to the global perspective of experiences of nuanced identity. Amanda Strong’s How To Steal A Canoe follows a Nishnaabeg woman as she reclaims her narrative and culture from a museum. Ayisha Gariba pointed the camera on herself in her documentary about going through the motions as she explored gender and blackness, along with Andrea Villanueva’s Wait For Me— an animated stop motion that follows the story of a Mexican Teenager as she tells her father she’s pregnant.
