Subject: Talk at the Museum of London | Video games: women in digital worlds

Part of City | Space | Video Games: a series of talks exploring the relationship between video games, history and culture.

Join us for a panel discussion exploring the role of women in video games and their representation in digital worlds.

This talk will uncover the largely untold history of the amazing women who have contributed to the video game industry, and how women are changing the gaming industry of today. We will also explore the representation of women within video games, and how this has evolved over the years; from the most famous characters, like Lara Croft, to some who are lesser known.

Women in digital worlds is chaired by Dr Jo Twist OBE, CEO of UKIE

The panel:
Charu Desodt - Production Director at Interior Night, BAFTA award winner and Breakthrough Brit 2014 Marie-Claire Isaaman - CEO of Women in Games, EA European Women in Games Hall of Fame winner 2014 Lynda Clark - Award-winning writer, video game producer and PhD student at Nottingham Trent University

Co-Chairs
Joelle Dietrick, Assistant Professor of Art and Digital Studies, Davidson College, Charlotte Kathy Rae Huffman, Independent Curator, Los Angeles

In response to both the current political climate and recent reporting into the gender gap in the tech industry, this panel will discuss still comparatively low percentage of women in the art tech world. Prompted by concerned academics, curators and the public, panelists will give short presentations of their work with commentary on their early access to technology, mentors and other support structures that helped them to create significant artwork. Discussion after the presentations will focus on how, going forward, we can support younger, female and trans new media artists, particularly artists of color. Discussions will consider Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw’s ideas about intersectionality and its insistence on finding productive ways to discuss gender, race, class, disability and other forms of identity.

Panelists
Kathy Rae Huffman, Independent Curator, Los Angeles Nao Bustamante, Professor of Art, University of Southern California, Los Angeles Annina Rüst, Assistant Professor of Art, Florida Atlantic University, Jupiter Kerry Tribe, Independent Artist, Los Angeles Gloria Sutton, Associate Professor of Contemporary Art History and New Media, Northeastern University, Boston, MA
