By Michelle Weisblat-Dane, Helen Lundström Erwin, and Christi Fenison

The Foremothers Café is inspired by Helen Erwin's historical novel Sour Milk in Sheep's Wool, and the Swedish suffrage movement at the turn of the 20th century. Helen will share the stage with world builder Christi Fenison, her collaborator to create the world in VR. Michelle Weisblat-Dane will moderate the discussion.

As they will discuss, Helen began by sending Cause and Christi a drawing that she had made on paper with colored pencils. Then they discussed Swedish historical and architectural details, and from there it went; with Helen's historical knowledge and Cause & Christi's world-building skills, magic happened.

If you've ever been interested in how creators bring worlds into virtual reality, this is a great session to attend!
