Come to Heritage Day on 26 April and join us in creating feminist memes as a playful way to dismantle the patriarchy.
Feminists have been using social media since the 2010s to campaign against male dominance and to spread their ideas. Their relationship with humour is twofold. On the one hand, they analyse and criticise sexist humour and its impact, such as the perpetuation of inequality, violence and the normalisation of patriarchy. On the other hand, they themselves use humour — in all sorts of ways — to dismantle sexism and highlight what is absurd, unjust and unacceptable.
In this workshop, we’ll give a brief introduction to feminism and its use of humour in general and on social media. We’ll provide you with plenty of inspiration. Afterwards, you’ll have the chance to get to work yourselves using images from our own collection and existing meme formats to create your own feminist memes.
The workshop will be held in three languages: the introductions will be in English, but Dutch and French support will be available. When creating the memes, you are free to do so in your own language or even mix different languages.
