Steampunk is more than an aesthetic; it’s a framework for creating, thinking, and living that draws from the past to envision an alternative future. In this presentation, join artist and Modvic cofounder Bruce Rosenbaum for a deep exploration of understanding and making Steampunk art.

After tracing the roots of the Steampunk genre back to its origins, Rosenbaum looks at its underlying principles and concepts that extend beyond the realm of art—from adaptive reuse and resilience to collaborative and creative problem solving. This lecture offers not only a better understanding of the unique blend of history, art, and technology that lay the foundations for Steampunk design, but also a framework for collaborating and solving problems more creatively.

Rosenbaum’s sculpture Issac Singer: The Time Stitcher will be on display in the NEQM galleries, April 30 through July 13, 2024.
