Women Artists in the Americas: Art, Science and Technology after 1960s

"Women Artists in the Americas: Art, Science and Technology after the 1960s" investigates the significant role of women artists, curators, and archivists (ACA) as agents and innovators of arts, science, and technology from the 1960s onwards.

Based on personal collections, artists, and institutional archives across the American continent, this project seeks to reveal how women ACAs have performed different roles and, in doing so, have challenged the gendering of science and technology as a masculine sphere of action and contributed to its development through the arts.

This study interrogates "women" as a category through an intersectional lens, not as a fixed gender or sexual identity. It proposes an interdisciplinary and transnational framework that builds from feminist art history, media art history, theory and archaeology, and science and technology studies to put in dialogue the work of women across the Americas to address connections and exchanges between them and decenter dominant Euro-Anglo narratives in the histories of women, art, science and technology.
