A critical session for meme makers, exploring the ideological weaponry, formal parameters, and entertainment value intrinsic to meme production. The event will begin warmly with a meryenda (afternoon snack), for participants to get to know each other informally. This will be followed by a group discussion (see reading list below), a meme evaluation circle, and a meme assembly line exercise.
Facilitated by Cengiz Mengüç (NL) and (Clara) Lobregat Balaguer (PH/ES)
