Femmebit – Celebrating LA Women Working in Video & New Media

Category Members NewsPosted on:

Femmebit is a curated festival featuring the most current and relevant work in the field of video art and new media— uniting an all-female roster of artists working in Los Angeles. The event will include livestream broadcasts of special programs including panels and workshops, and an onsite VR exhibition with live VR-streaming. 

The event focuses on representing female artists in Los Angeles and is a celebration that openly acknowledges a true, interconnected wellspring and force majeure demanding nationwide recognition. Each day of Femmebit encompasses unique programs framing varied points of conversation— exploring topics such as the artist’s identity in a corporate world, the screen as avatar and persona, and how the anatomy of video— as a user tool and malleable architecture— induces possibilities for cultivating and sculpting an empowered female form. From symposiums to screenings, Femmebit aims to propel a dialogue around a fluid medium; a dialogue focused on how women working with and between technologies enable progressive ideas to be born through active creation; and how we, as creators and proponents of this field, must work together to shape, share, and grow a future that is female.
