VoCA (Voices in Contemporary Art) is pleased to launch the Spring 2019 issue of [*VoCA Journal*](http://bit.ly/2FVy1hj?ref=hyperallergic.com), the third in a series on the stewardship of media arts, and the first to focus particularly on women practitioners in the field. The issue features conversations with artist [Mary Lucier](http://bit.ly/2OHxRwx?ref=hyperallergic.com), curator [Barbara London](http://bit.ly/2uHCFJq?ref=hyperallergic.com), and [Kathleen Landy](http://bit.ly/2FT2DQm?ref=hyperallergic.com) of The Feminist Institute, as well as essays on the work of artists [Lynn Hershman Leeson](http://bit.ly/2ODBXpq?ref=hyperallergic.com), [Shigeko Kubota](http://bit.ly/2Ucp0ZS?ref=hyperallergic.com), [Shirin Neshat](http://bit.ly/2D1xRTN?ref=hyperallergic.com), and others, all of whom pioneered the burgeoning field of media art at key moments in contemporary art history. Together, these articles tell the rich interwoven stories of a community of women who ushered video, audio, electronic, internet, and software-based art to the fore.

[*VoCA Journal*](http://bit.ly/2FVy1hj?ref=hyperallergic.com) is a digital information-sharing platform for artists and their collaborators to discuss innovative, cross-disciplinary approaches to the research, display, and stewardship of contemporary art. Each issue aims to highlight and archive progressive artist-centered projects, creating a dynamic repository for these initiatives while also connecting members of the VoCA network both locally and across the globe.
