Join artist and scholar Bettina Forget for a talk bridging art, space science, and the timely topic of women’s representation. Of the 1,605 named craters on the moon, only 29 are named after women — an issue that Forget has tackled in a series of works called Women With Impact. She’ll discuss the underrepresentation of women in the historical science record through the lens of this piece, which fuses drawing and selenographic research.
