Museum hosting free screening of ‘Sisters with Transistors’ in conjunction with ‘Fret Haus’ guitar exhibition on March 13

Area art enthusiasts are invited to attend a free screening of the 2020 documentary “Sisters with Transistors” at the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art at Auburn University at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 13.

The film is the remarkable untold story of electronic music’s female pioneers, composters who embraced machines and their liberating technologies to utterly transform how we produce and listen to music today. The program is presented in conjunction with “Fret Haus,” a collaborative exhibition highlighting a semester’s work by School of Industrial and Graphic Design faculty, their students and the museum.

Fret Haus features creative new operational guitar designs, along with the developing concepts, renderings and models. Unfolding over the course of the Spring 2022 semester, students add research, prototypes, workshopping ideas and final fabricated objects.

Museum admission is free, with auditorium seating available on a first-come, first-served basis.
