Dialogues in the Visual Arts
is a theme-based visual arts program focusing on the work of multiple artists sharing one bill and moderated by critics, gallery owners and curators.

From the (Trans)gendered Body to the Cyborg: Feminism, Art, and Technology is an important dialogue about the intersection of gender and technology that will include issues of how women artists are using new media tools to express feminist content, the differences in approach by female and male artists and the erasure of the binary, how women artists’ technological innovations can be publicly acknowledged, and the influence of women artists through interactive and personal modes of social networking in today’s digital world.

Part II of this panel will take place on Saturday, March 22 at the Brooklyn Museum Sackler Center.
