Centennial feminist Tarot

Abstract

How might a reimagined tarot experience connect feminist movements of the past and present in a way that supports and inspires future generations? The Centennial Feminist Tarot illuminates the parallel histories of the United States women’s suffrage movement and modern feminism in order to help Millennial women understand their place in the context of American history. The creation of this reimagined deck includes a new “Major Arcana”, a spread unique to the deck, biographical information, and interpretations for each card. Stereoscopic digital collages serve as trigger images for an augmented reality application that will allow users to navigate the historical and symbolic meanings of the commemorative cards.
