Non-profit organization Latinas in Tech is sharing a metaverse exhibition in partnership with Korbel California Champagne to spotlight and celebrate Hispanic women of influence in STEM industries. Luminarias is a virtual art exhibition during Hispanic Heritage Month that's devoted to 30 Latina changemakers who serve as everything from corporate executives to digital creators. As part of the metaverse exhibition, each honoree is represented by their very own NFT portrait, which can be appreciated in a fully immersive virtual reality gallery.
Each Luminarias portrait was designed by award-winning illustrator and digital artist Lucia Diaz may be purchased as a charity NFT and all of the proceeds will go towards supporting Latinas in Tech and its mission to connect, support, and empower Hispanic women working in technology. This uplifting and empowering exhibition is taking place at a time when women represent 28.8% of the U.S. tech workforce and Hispanic women only make up 2%.
