What you will do
In this workshop, you’ll learn about climate crisis meme cultures from a meme expert. In particular, the way in which the meme-generation’s anxiety concerning climate change is caught within the ironic nature of meme cultures. You’ll have the chance to make your own meme collages about climate change, after having guided discussions about the topic. No need to bring a screen, we will have all you need here and the memes you will make will be on paper (waste will, of course, be recycled). Feel free to bring your own collaging material, including magazines and newspapers.
Lucie Chateau
Lucie Chateau is working towards her PhD at Tilburg University, with research focusing on how meme subcultures and their aesthetics have real-life political implications. She has completed two masters theses, one about depression memes which was subsequently presented at the Digital Intimacies 2019 conference at Monash University, Australia. She then also has a soon-to-be-published thesis from the UvA about anti-capitalist memes.
