This exhibition highlights how technology has enabled storytelling by these female artists, of their past, present and the visions they reimagine for the future. FIRST. FEMALE. FORWARD. aims to bring a stronger focus to the lack of female digital artist representation within the African arts setting and continuously celebrate historical contributions by female artists to the art and creative industries.
