How do images shape the way we perceive the world and ourselves?
Artists Ana Zibelnik and Jakob Ganslmeier invite participants to explore the forces and impacts of visual culture. In the workshop, participants will collectively create a visual compass – a map used to examine the influence of memes, symbols, and digital imagery. Together we will discuss how humor, images, and trends can simultaneously build and disrupt communities, and how visuality can function as a tool for social change.
The workshop provides a space for discussion and critical reflection:
- How can humor and memes both entertain and cause harm?
- In what ways do symbols and visual trends reinforce or challenge identities?
- How can images be used as instruments of activism and social transformation?
Who is it for: The workshop is open to everyone – artists, students, researchers, and anyone interested in visual culture.
Capacity is limited to 30 participants.
