This 3-day event of local and international artists, scholars, students and community members features panels, workshops and an exhibition.
FEMeeting is driven by the desire to develop and promote a more direct collaboration between women working at the intersection art, science, and technology. The meetings aim to disseminate projects being undertaken by women worldwide and, as a result, to contribute to the development of art-science research methodologies and to the growth of cooperation strategies that can increase knowledge sharing and bring communities closer.
This event is free and open to the public.
