Vavagaa Project

As part of our Multimedia Feminist Storytelling, Documentation, and Archiving Project, in 2021, Soma established a Feminist Concept Hub through a Video Talk Show. The platform provides a space for women to discuss how gender issues impact their lives, challenging intersecting neoliberal and patriarchal myths that tarnish the reputation of feminism. To ensure a technically proficient, visually appealing, relatable, and conceptually strong program, Soma enlisted our team to oversee the production direction of the Feminist Concept Hub Video Talk Show under the brand name Vavagaa.
