Workshop
Led by Indigenous video and meme-maker Fallon Simard, this workshop will introduce participants on using a mobile phone to create memes. Simard will provide an overview of his meme and video work, which captures the conflicts created by colonialism, land, politics, and capitalism, and investigates the intensity and burdens as products of injustice(s), human rights violations, and colonial violence. Simard will offer a tutorial on the basics of phone editing to making meme art with found footage and photographs. There will be time allotted for discussion and studio time. Expect to laugh, discuss ethics regarding meme-making, disarm stigma surrounding mental health, and learn how to create your own meme!
