Synopsis

Dragonroot Media is a feminist media collective that aims to produce anti-oppressive media with a gender focus. Dragonroot values self-determination and representation, and works within an anti-oppressive, anti-racist, and anti-colonial framework. As a feminist media collective, Dragonroot enthusiastically rejects the notion of neutral and objective media, recognizing it as actively supporting established social power dynamics and institutional violences. Dragonroot Media is media collective that values skill-sharing as a means of knowledge production, education, resistance, and community building. Dragonroot Media strives toward an intersectional feminist analysis and recognizes media as inherently political and non-objective. We demand that our media be accessible and centered on the self-representation and self-determination of voices, experiences, and people underrepresented in mainstream media. More concretely, Dragonroot is a collaboration between CKUT 90.3FM and the Centre for Gender Advocacy and hosts a weekly radio program from 8:30 9:00AM on CKUT. Our website is home to our radio archives, a diversity of online articles, artistic pieces, local feminist news, and much more1500 Maisonneuve W. Suite 404dragonrootmedia@gmail.com
