ABOUT CURRENCY
Boston Cyberarts is excited to open the fall season with CURRENCY, an exhibition by the artist collective FeministFuturist on view in the gallery from Friday September 9 - Sunday October 16, 2022. This exhibition is created, curated and presented by the collective and encompasses both physical and virtual work. CURRENCY’s themes include the concept of monuments (their permanence or impermanence in physical or digital realms); Feminism in digital platforms; and ways in which a Feminist perspective can heal Earth from a male-dominated, capitalist-technological hegemony.
In their own words, the FeministFuturist art collective’s founding purpose is the following: “We call on fellow artists to foment cultural change by creating visionary art. We seek to evolve culture creatively, equitably, with sustainable technologies, and with deep respect for the ecological systems of planet Earth. Feminist Futurism offers visions of coexistence, healing, and community with all living things.

About Balch’s Work
Christina Balch created new work in 2022 for this exhibition. Playing with exhibition themes of currency and new feminist monuments, Balch created work in AR called Rest and minted her first collection of NFTs on the Tezos blockchain with a new Awake series of selfies.
