Student Meme Contest (2022)

This collection documents a spring 2022 meme-creation contest related to the prompt, “What Does America Meme to You?” as well an accompanying public discussion of how memes subvert traditional means of communication. The event was intended as a participatory analytical space where student prize winners, MSU faculty and staff, and the public collectively contextualize and reflect on the disruptive communicative force played by memes in the United States today.
