Taught by: Kenzie Cuvelier & Emily Nodell
In this class, students delved into the multifaceted role of social media in today’s society. As a powerful force shaping our social, cultural, political, and economic lives, social media serves as a platform for communication, news, community engagement, marketing, entertainment, and even activism. However, it also raises concerns about surveillance and control.
Participants explored the dual nature of social media through the lens of contemporary art, examining both its liberating potential and its harmful effects. Throughout the course, students engaged in critical discussions about how to leverage social media as an artistic tool to reflect on its impact and advocate for meaningful change.
