FEMeeting Sister Labs took place at The Sanctuary for Independent Media/NATURE Lab in Troy, New York on April 5th and 6th, 2024. The event was part of FEMeeting: Women in Art, Science and Technology, which was launched in 2017 to promote more direct collaborations between individuals who identify as Women, independent of their sex. In 2021, FEMeeting Sister Labs was launched as a hybrid model of interaction between the local and the global, between the digital and the physical. The Sanctuary hosted local and international artists, scholars, students and community members for two days of workshops and artist presentations. The first evening, April 5, 2024, featured artist talks by Praba Pilar ("Nixtamalízaté-té-té"), Cecilia Vilca ("Exorcisms of the Territory"), and Suzanne Thorpe and Stephanie Rothenberg ("Tending Ostreidae: Serenades for Settling").
This event is a collaboration between the iEAR Presents series with support from RPI’s ARTS department and School of Humanities, Arts and Social Science, and from the New York State Council for the Arts/ NYSCA, with The Sanctuary for Independent Media, and is a featured project of the NEA Our Town “Sanctuary Eco-Art Trail” creative placemaking grant.
