Academy Museum invites you to celebrate the achievements of diverse communities at the Academy Awards. 

Join us in conversation with Women in Film Deputy Director Maikiko James and Alliance of Women Directors board member and Events Director Sacha Smith as they reflect on the history of women nominees and winners at the Oscars. The wide-ranging talk covers the significance of women being recognized in male-dominated categories; milestone moments for women at the ceremony; what changes need to be made as the Academy approaches its 100th Oscars ceremony; and more.

Visitors are encouraged to explore the Stories of Cinema: Oscars gallery before or after the program.

In honor of our Cyberpunk exhibition closing on April 12, we welcome filmmaker and educator Andrew Kim to guide participants in building their very own Atari Punk Console—a simple, chaotic sound synthesizer, perfect for generating gritty sci-fi textures.

In the second half of the workshop, we will create and record a cyberpunk-inspired film score using a variety of synthesizers, both analog and digital.
