Los Angeles-based critic and curator Mimi Zeiger has developed Feminisms: 1974 to Now, a curated video playlist of lectures that have taken place at the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) over the decades highlighting "feminist thought and dialogue" at the institution. 

The playlist, dubbed a "Collection," is hosted on the newly-launched SCI-Arc Channel website, a dedicated online space that makes available videos created over the last 30 or so years from the school's lecture series, collected via the SCI-Arc Media Archive. Zeiger's Collection includes contributions from Design, Bitches, Penelope Spheeris, Dolores Hayden, Phyllis Birkby, Beatriz Colomina, Sheila da Brettaville, Barbara Stauffacher Solomon, Keller Easterling, Esther Choi, Izasjun Chinchilla, and Cecilia Fajardo-Hill. 

The lectures focus on a variety of topics that stake a claim the for "feminist outlooks [that] shape our work and our world," Zeiger writes in an introduction for the collection. Zeiger adds, "From a 1974 lecture by graphic designer Sheila Levrant de Bretteville, who cofounded the Women’s Building in Los Angeles, to Beatriz Colomina’s breakthrough rereading of the battle between Le Corbusier and Eileen Gray, to Esther Choi’s use of a cookbook to undermine art and architecture’s sacred cows, these videos communicate bold design principles that go beyond gender: collectivity and creativity, equity and humor."

The Collection follows a selection focused on Barbara Bestor's favorite SCI-Arc lectures as well as a set of lectures highlighting designs for life in space by Kappe Library manager Kevin McMahon.
