Lynn Hershman Leeson employs transmedia storytelling to create a seminal history of the American feminist art movement. Expanding the scope of her documentary !Women Art Revolution, RAW/WAR is a live, user-generated, community-curated video archive that documents the achievements of women artists. The RAW/WAR installation is a live participatory environment that allows users to “bring light” to the lost or invisible histories of women in art with virtual flashlight controllers accessing the interactive, community-curated archive. RAW/WAR is created by Lynn Hershman Leeson in collaboration with Alexandra Chowaniec, Brian Chirls, Gian Pablo Villamil and Paradiso Projects.
