"I've got rockefuel in my blood" is a multidisciplinary project focusing on the invisibilization of women working in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics).

This visual and academic research articulates images and portraits made in numerous Belgian and British STEM university departments with embroidered collages of anonymous female silhouettes found in the archives of the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Furthermore, it takes a look at literature on notions such as the leaky pipeline syndrome, the stereotype threat, the Matilda effect, the glass ceiling and the maternal wall.

"I've got rocketfuel in my blood" is a quote by JoAnn Morgann, instrumentation controller and only woman in the firing room for the launch of Apollo 11.
