amplifying Feminist VOICES & visions
Expanding feminist embodied imaginaries
REsearching feminist visual potencia
Feminist Visions is a co-creative collaborative digital platform that amplifies the work of feminists and feminist movements from across the world, exploring the potencia of feminist visualities and the power of imaginaries to shape new realities.
The aim is to expand the visibility of affective and creative feminist actions though text, photography, video and other creative offerings so that together, we can transform our dreams, desires and visions into powerful possibilities and amplify feminist potencia.
This initiative comes out of doctoral research by Victoria Page on feminist visual potenica and creative activism in struggles for justice around feminicide in Latin America. The concept of feminist visual and creative potencia is rooted in Latin American feminist and decolonial praxis. It focuses on relational and affective forms of power.
Through Feminist Visions, this work continues beyond academia to research and build knowledge on feminisms around the world through creative and collaborative methods and mediums.

A Reading List for Feminist Visual Potencia: 10 selected reads to get started
Victoria Page
Here are 10 of my favourite readings that have influenced the creation of the concept, Feminist Visual Potencia. These texts listed below help think about how feminist potencia is expanding the force, reach, and imagination of feminisms.
-
Collaborative
We build feminist images, imaginaries and and possibilities through collaborative, participatory and co-creative practices.
-
Intersectional
We understand inequalities as intersectional. Patriarchy, coloniality, capitalism, ableism and heteronormativity all shape power, privilege and precarity.
-
plural
We approach feminism from the awareness that there is no singular feminist story or trajectory. There is a plurality of feminisms across the world with their own histories and struggles.
-
Embodied
We believe the body matters. Our work is rooted in embodied experiences and action. We take a somatic, trauma-informed approach to our work.
-
In movement
We are in movement, responding to the shifts and challenges facing our shared abilities to create and forward feminist visions. We choose to move in circles, spirals and to dance.
-
Creative
We are creators who use different expressive practices to imagine and reimagine our worlds as ones based on solidarity, empathy, care and justice.
