“In the future, femininity will be made of both botanical prints and blood-powered batteries. Physical sacrifice will create electric currents, and emotional vulnerability will be an organic foil to virtual reality.” - KT Hawbaker

Her Environment is a socially conscious art series that was founded in 2015 in Chicago. We are interested in multi-disciplinary works with an emphasis in new media and technologies.
