Join us for an interactive workshop where participations with take inspiration from the Brazilian sociologist and educator, Paulo Freire, and French Philosopher, Henri Bergson, to critically deconstruct mythologies of AI and creatively reinterpret visual media and the transformative potential of memes to challenge and disrupt colonial narratives embedded in political, social, and cultural concepts as reinforced by predictive and generative AI.

Selected works from the workshop may be displayed during a future exhibition at Science Gallery London, inviting feedback and engagement from a broader audience and continuing the critical conversations initiated in the workshop.

You do not need any prior knowledge of AI or meme creation to enjoy this event.
