Grimanesa Amorós presented a Rutgers University Visiting Artist in Residence lecture on her light installation project, MOMENTUM WOMEN / ART / TECHNOLOGY. The event took place on-site, offering attendees an immersive experience of her work.

Amorós shared insights into her artistic practice and the philosophy behind MOMENTUM WOMEN / ART / TECHNOLOGY. She discussed how her work bridges art, technology, and cultural identity, offering a fresh perspective on contemporary art.

The lecture was hosted by the Center for Women in the Arts and Humanities (CWAH) at Rutgers University. CWAH’s mission is to advance research and document the aesthetic, intellectual, and cultural contributions of feminist art.

Amorós explained how her installations transform spaces and engage viewers. She emphasized the importance of integrating art into educational environments. Her ability to merge art, science, and emotion resonated deeply with the audience.

The event highlighted the transformative power of art in fostering innovation and dialogue. Amorós’s work aligns with CWAH’s mission to promote interdisciplinary collaboration and creativity. Her lecture left a lasting impression on attendees, inspiring them to think creatively and critically.

Rutgers University continues to host events that bring together artists, scholars, and the public. These gatherings provide opportunities for learning, networking, and collaboration. By fostering meaningful interactions, the university empowers individuals to engage with art and culture in new ways.
