No dia 11 de Março anunciámos o cancelamento do primeiro FEMeeting Troy e FEMeeting Paris devido ao surto de COVID-19. Porém, a primavera fez com que o FEMeeting WEB florescesse e se dedicasse à auto-imunidade digital, uma forma alternativa de nos reunirmos e incentivarmos a partilha de testemunhos individuais em tempos de confinamento.

Na última sexta-feira, dia 29 de Maio, uma parte destas atividades foi apresentada em formato digital, de forma pública, a nível mundial sob o título “Antibodies”. O FEMeeting WEB 2020 inclui os “All Women Crew Podcasts”, o workshop 2020 Space Art Science, organizado de forma a celebrar as mulheres na arte, astronáutica e astronomia, e os vídeos enviados pelos membros da comunidade do FEMeeting “Acquired Immunity”, como resposta à realidade formada pela crise de COVID-19.

O FEMeeting WEB 2020 é organizado com Kathy High e Branda Miller, da iniciativa Media Sanctuary’s NATURE Lab (North Troy Art, Technology, and Urban Research in Ecology), e Annick Bureaud, do Leonardo/Olats, juntamente com as co-fundadoras Marta de Menezes e Dalila Honorato, com o apoio da Cultivamos Cultura.
