Girl Powered Art and Technology: An Exhibition by ICLT 300 Students at NYIT

Girl Powered Art and Technology
An Exhibition by Students in ICLT 300: Women, Technology, and Art  
Wisser Library

This exhibition showcases print, digital, and material artifacts that interpret the ways that women have engaged art and power in their work. It is divided into three sections, corresponding to texts we discussed addressing the influence of Mary Shelley’s classic novel Frankenstein (1818), Marjane Satrapi’s graphic novel Persepolis (2000), and Nnedi Okorafor’s science fiction novel Binti (2015). Each of these writers take on humanity and technology differently and the projects students have created consider how they do so in new ways. As a result, our exhibition Girl Powered Art and Technology captures women’s textual and digital impact on society.

The purpose of this exhibition is to depict the roles women have had in shaping technology and art. Representing different cultures and time periods, each of the writers we read demonstrates innovative thinking that inspired our own.
