Women, Art, Science, and Technology in Latin America, 1970s to the Present
Conceived as part of a broader recovery of histories of Latin American women working with science and technology, “Artful Minds, Healing and Well-Being: Women, Art, Science, and Technology in Latin America 1970s to the Present” includes a selection of projects that share Leonardo’s focus on topics related to health. Ten artists from five Latin American countries (Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, and Chile) represent a sampling of relevant practitioners. The works span fifty years, from the 1970s to the present, and involve various fields and technologies, from sonic, video, computational, and AI arts, to medical technologies and bioart, to technologically aided installations and performances. Created in various formats as solo-authored, collaborative, and participatory works, these projects include diverse physical and virtual environments, from artistic, domestic, scientific, and electronic spaces to urban and rural areas in Latin America and Europe.
