A final reminder and open invitation to join: Connecting the Dots: Virtuality, Technology & Feminism in the Museum http://feminismandcurating.pbworks.com/Smithsonian

Three days of lively conversation and provocative insights kick off tonight with an interview with Griselda Pollock by Juliette Bellow. http://residentassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/reserve.aspx?performanceNumb...

Huge kudos to Faye Browning, Liz Paige and Alison Romain from TSA for organizing this, and infinite thanks for supporting the Symposium!

On Friday and Saturday, we have an amazing array of International and local luminaries who'll start and facilitate our ongoing dialogue: http://feminismandcurating.pbworks.com/Smithsonian

I'd like to thank them all for giving so generously of their time and expertise to further this important research.

Friday and Saturday's free Symposium will be Live Blogged between 10-5:30pm EST http://feminismandcurating.pbworks.com/w/page/45814557/Live%20Blog Thanks to volunteer Neal Stimler for coming down from the Met to manage this and more!

Friday's plenary sessions will be videoed and added later to the wiki, along with a CART full text transcript of the day's conversation. I'd like to thank Marc Bretzfelder from OCIO and Beth Ziebarth from the Accessibility Program for helping us increase access to the Symposium exponentially by providing this critical technology support.
