IAAC Alumni Re-imagining Black Women at Sundance Film Festival

Hyphen-Labs, the studio co-founded by IAAC Alumni Ece Tankal and Carmen Aguilar y Wedge, is now working on a Virtual Reality project called NeuroSpeculative AfroFeminism, an interactive installation set in a re-contextualized hair salon where new narratives synthesize technology, neuroscience, and transhumanism.

NSAF interrogate issues of visibility by providing a platform to talk about expanding the role and social contributions of black women. This as vehicle for progressing more inclusive supportive environments in science, tech, engineering, arts and mathematics.

NSAF will be premiering January 19th at New Frontiers, Sundance Film Festival 2017. New Frontier at Sundance Institute is a dynamic initiative created to identify and foster independent artists working at the convergence of film, art, media, live performance, music and technology.

Since 2007, the New Frontier exhibition at the Sundance Film Festival has provided the highest level of curation in the emerging field, incorporating fiction, non-fiction and hybrid projects to showcase transmedia storytelling, multi-media installations, performances and films.
