The Feminist Spatial Practices (FSP) is an engaging new online archive that presents a vibrant collection of feminist-related projects, protests, collectives, and publications. The structure of FSP itself serves as a metaphor for its content; it intentionally defies conventional web designs influenced by Big Tech's aesthetic norms. Instead, the designers drew inspiration for the collage-like layout from traditionally feminized crafts such as weaving and sewing.

The sites entries ranging from influential figures to movements such as the Combahee River Collective to themes like 'collaborative practices' and 'experimental pedagogies—are 'meticulously curated' yet open-ended allowing for vetted crowd sourced additions.

Cofounder Bryony Roberts emphasizes that FSP aims to broaden discussions around feminism beyond mere representation and to build solidarity among those involved in feminist work across various contexts. This innovative approach not only highlights the diversity of feminist perspectives but also weaves a rich tapestry of shared experiences and knowledge, empowering individuals to connect, learn, and grow together in their collective pursuit of social change.
