Angela Washko is an artist specialized in games and experiential art. She pushes for conversation and development of feminism and challenges societal norms. Angela does this through her own mediums video games and the world of gamers. She facilitates The Council on Gender Sensitivity and Behavioral Awareness in World of Warcraft, proving that females can be gamers too.

She is currently a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Art at our school, Carnegie Mellon University, and is a core faculty member for the MFA program. Her most popular work is arguably The Game: The Game. However, another interesting project is “Woman as Place”. It is an interactive game where she displays postcards from different regions of the world. It is a straightforward game with a straightforward concept, but the display and unique method of showing off her collection of postcards are enrapturing.
