Generation F: The 2018 Multimedia Anthology
Generation F: The Girls Write Now 2018 Multimedia Anthology debuted at the 2018 QWERTY Digital Media Exhibition, where our mentees showcased projects created at the intersection of language, technology, and art. Interactive poems made with code, video memoirs overlaid with self-produced music, and thought-provoking podcasts — our mentees used the skills they discovered in our digital media workshops to build these multi-platform and genre-bending works of art.
At Girls Write Now, our mentees are part of a generation yet to be defined, a generation facing unprecedented challenges, freedoms, technologies, and choices. They are fighters and feminists, freethinkers and forces to be reckoned with. They are fitting in (or not), fed up, fighting back, and figuring it out in classrooms, cafes, and all across NYC. This year, our mentees and mentors explored what it meant to be members of Generation F. As a community we sought to redefine our feminist identities, find our voices, fight for essential freedoms, and face our world with fresh eyes.
