Ready to break out of your reading or movie-viewing rut and try a new genre? Travel the gas-lamp lit alleyways of a Victorian era London that never was, or fly through the ether aboard an airship, all made possible by the Steampunk genre.
Related to but distinct from science fiction, with some historical fiction, fantasy, and mystery stirred in, steampunk is a popular genre of literature, film, and art that combines retrofuturistic technology and modern dilemmas with Industrial Age machinery and aesthetics. By imagining an alternative history, Steampunk challenges us to think about the future in a new way. Plus, this genre is just downright fun!
This interactive program concludes with a steampunk craft.
